I've had some success generating build.gradle files containing the
dependencies and exclusions from a pom.xml file - pretty much just
using an XmlSlurper. I'm not sure I appreciate what you're asking
about, however GRADLE-197 does not appear to be related. It sounds
like you're looking for something like the maven archetype, which was
a recent gradle-user/gradle-dev topic. Or it is purely the build.gant
that you're looking to create?

Has anyone had any luck with Gradle build file generation?
I'm creating a plugin to help jEdit plugin developers get started.
The plugin thus far will allow users to run 'gradle init' in their
directory, and it'll create the base directory structure. I'd like
to be able to safely add things to the build file after commands are
run. For example, in the 'init' task I'd like to ask the user if
their plugin is intended for jEdit 4.3, jEdit 4.4, or jEdit 4.5.
Based on their choice, I'd want to add the appropriate dependency to
the build.gradle file.
I suppose this is one benefit to being able to use XML, java
processes can manipulate the XML structure pretty easily without
worrying about closing braces in the wrong places.
I saw this ticket: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GRADLE-197
Is it a best bet to wait for something to come out of it, or is
there a work-a-round I can use for this?
Thanks for any help.
