Acceptable in NetBeans (by NetBeans' standards), and I don't know about Eclipse because Eclipse is a pain in the ass with third part build tools. It looks like Spring STS is providing a Gradle for Eclipse plugin but I havn't used it. Until everyone is using Gradle and Android Studio we still will have to maintain maven (for apklib) but the golden scenario for starting out/green field development will be Gradle. Now I may get into the woods on this and find out it has a horrible side effect, but right now it should simplify the life of a developer.
