Caught this on TSS today - has anyone seen/used?

http://www.gradle.org/

Claims to integrate with existing Maven repos, use Ivy for dependency 
management, and scripting (by convention via Groovy) for programmatic 
support.

Currently I don't like Ivy because it necessitates Ant build Scripts, 
and don't like Maven because it's too tricky to get together a 
reproducible build (unique snapshot numbers, ranges, and better 
dependency resolution would solve most of this).
