Wanted to point out that I have a new Gradle PoC branch in SVN at
https://svn.jboss.org/repos/hibernate/core/branches/gradle2 Of special
interest, this branch supports generating intellij project from the
source. The Gradle guys have been really awesome in helping me to get
this ready. You'll need at least the 0.9-preview2 release and you'd
simply run 'gradle idea' to generate the intellij project.
If anyone is really averse to installing gradle on their machines we
could try generating a wrapper too:

Its still a work in progress, but I think it shows the promise of using
gradle. Really the only parts missing at this point are:
1) integrating the testing (testsuite, jdbc3 and jdbc4 testing) stuff
which I have been waiting to do a "better way" leveraging Gradle
strengths (because it allows more than one artifact per project)
2) doing docbook builds
3) special handling for building a release
