[hibernate-dev] upgrade to gradle 1.0-m9

[Steve Ebersole]

GRADLE-2169 (or at least tests hanging on your system) was the main 
reason to switch to m9.  If that's not addressed by m9 then IMO we 
should not switch.  Like I said on IRC all the reports I saw (JIRA and 
forum) said that that particular thing is still an issue.  Curious it 
only fails on some systems.  The next release is supposed to be the 
first RC, I'd vote we wait for that if possible.  One thought I have 
been having... Is Gradle using its daemon now by default?  If so, I 
wonder if our memory settings, when set environmentally, are not passed 
along to the daemon.  One of the forums posts suggest the underlying 
cause of these hangs is situations where the "worker process" 
encounters certain types of errors such as OOM.  That would certainly 
happen trying to run the testsuites.

As for name-spacing the manual, the doctype declaration for manual now 
all use SYSTEM instead of PUBLIC.  So even if they cannot be resolved 
locally, it should never try to resolve them remotely.  So not sure why 
this causes extra time.  I would think either it does not load the DTD 
or it fails.  Of course if you already have the work done to convert it 
to be name-spaced, I'd say push it.
