Re: [aerogear-dev] [Android] Google's Gradle build tool and AAR

Y'all, In the last release we had some trouble at the end. People were having trouble building aerogear-android because the android-sdk-deployer project had a couple of "small" problems. Mainly there was an issue with one of the deployers submodules (and it had to be disabled by hand) and the deployer itself isn't compatible with maven 3.1.0. I don't want to include in the build instructions for aerogear "download this old version of Maven and then edit the pom of this third party project". The easiest way to remove our dependency on the deployer is to start using Google's gradle build system. The Android SDK has packages for deploying the necessary repositories so that our build can consume them and we can use the gradle wrapper to keep our users from having to install yet more software. So where does this leave maven? Unfortuantely it is still necessary to build the apklib file (as far as I know), but it won't be necessary to actually USE the project anymore. wdyt?
