[rules-dev] Dropping Maven 2 for Gradle?

[Mark Proctor]

  I'm happy to let the hibernate people guinee pig Grails. Initially 
we'll move to maven 3 (as it's backwards compatible), and for the moment 
maven is still what most people are familiar with.

We'll be restructuring the build over time and if maven 3 doesn't do 
what we need and/or hibernate people are reporting amazing results with 
no sign of improvements to maven, then we can evaluate Grails.
