David Arthur commented on KAFKA-1171:
-------------------------------------
I think having a maintainable build is a big plus. SBT does not lend itself to
this. It also seems that Gradle has been gaining traction in the Scala world
(probably b/c people dislike SBT so much). Netflix has adopted it, and Samza is
using it. Having two closely related projects (Kafka and Samza) use the same
build makes good sense.
And yea, that Ant task thing looks neat.

> We have previously discussed moving away from SBT to an
> easier-to-comprehend-and-debug build system such as Ant or Gradle. I put up a
> patch for an Ant+Ivy build a while ago[1], and it sounded like people wanted
> to check out Gradle as well.
