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.
