So, the decision was to *NOT* have an official plugin (either Maven or
Gradle or whatever).
The reasons are that we don't want to commit to maintaining them, we don't
have the bandwidth to have this new responsibility (with an official
plugin, users would expect it to be updated, at a minimum bu

As Julien said, GWT does not want to force you into using Gradle for your
projects. GWT wants to make it easier to import the project into an IDE s
Adopting gradle as the build tool for GWT will not force GWT developers to
choose Gradle for their projects.

Gradle is forcing Java Developers to learn Groovy ... yuk !
Ant + Ivy is the best building tools, until someone build something in Java.

Would be great to get some feedback. Currently, the lack of a decision
regarding a new build tool for GWT and thus the potential contribution of
this plugin if Gradle will be chosen blocks pull requests.

I would like to see that happen, especially if GWT itself moves to Gradle
as build tool.

good but there are some spots it can be improved a bit t
