So gradle is an analog of maven, in that it provides dependency management in
the same fashion. However, the configuration is written in groovy (not my
favorite, but indeed a Turing complete language). Clearly the trade off would
be that Apache’s main set of libraries moves off its build system, and that in
itself may be a non-starter (I’m ok with that, but I feel the conversation
valuable). It seems like newer java projects favor a gradle build system
because most java developers these days heavily rely upon spring.
I honestly don’t know what the right direction here is, and I’m entirely open
minded to anything anyone in the community has to offer.
All the best,
