My feelings exactly. Every time a new build system comes out, I get excited, I try it and I realize that while it does fix a few things that don't work very well in Maven, Maven still wins overall in usability, productivity, tooling and general support.
And yes, I put gradle firmly in that category. I'm excited about Gradle for a few things but overall, it's still not a very clear jump forward compared to Maven (and I think Android's decision to standardize on Gradle is a mistake that they will back pedal from in the next couple of years). -- Cédric On Sun, Sep 28, 2014 at 6:18 PM, Mark Derricutt <[email protected]> wrote: > On 25 Sep 2014, at 20:45, pwagland wrote: > > Which is one of the reasons that I listen.
