I've been looking into gradle for the Stewardship SIG, but things
don't look good.

- The current version of gradle in rawhide and fedora 30 FTBFS because
it cannot build itself.
- The fedora package is 23 (!) stable releases behind the latest upstream.
- It doesn't even install on 32bit architectures, because eclipse-jgit
dropped support for these.

gradle itself is actually only used for building a very small
percentage of Java packages, the majority is built with maven or ant.

This is why we've been discussing if we should drop gradle from the
SIG packages (or altogether) -- because we simply don't have the
manpower and know-how to get it into shape again.

Additionally, tt's already not supported by the
javapackages-tools-201901 module anymore, where support for gradle
builds was disabled in all relevant packages.
