Hi Gus,

I see you asked questions similar to this over on the Rio list. Rio's examples 
are Maven based, but you don't need a Maven build to deploy anything. You were 
given an offer of help from someone on the Rio list wrt Gradle, and I am 
currently using Rio with Ant & Gradle project. If you have further questions 
wrt Rio please ask over on the Rio list.
