[rules-dev] Dropping Maven 2 for Gradle?

[Geoffrey De Smet]

Steve makes some good, valid points on that blog about Maven 2.
I get the feeling that Maven 3 fixes a lot of those problems and the 
maven 3.1 promises a lot too.
At Devoxx 2009 I saw 2 presentations:
- Gradle (the lead, forgot his name): showed a build of a one module 
project with one source file - and it was fast. All in all, Gradle felt 
like a toy (I must be wrong since the Hibernate guys are serious).
- a Maven 3 (the lead, Jason) presentation: he basically went over all 
the things I hate about maven 2 and stated that maven 3 or 3.1 would fix 
them while remaining backward compatible. He showed a large 
multi-project build with tons of sources files and it was relatively fast.

It will be very interesting to see how hibernate's experimentation with 
Gradle goes and how the maven guys react.


Nevertheless, I am convinced that most of the problems in our build are 
fixable, by cleaning up our build:
   https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBRULES-2504
If I get some time for that, I 'd love to pull the effort to fix those 
issues.

With kind regards,
Geoffrey De Smet
