Thanks for all your comments everyone. What I deduce from here is that packaging and maintaining Gradle is quite a task, and it may not be doable (or worth doing) with our limited resources. So, to bring the thread back to the original question: what do we do? - Does anyone have experience with converting Gradle based projects to Maven? Can we use something like this in %prep, for example, or locally generate the pom files and ship them in src.rpm? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12888490/gradle-build-gradle-to-maven-pom-xml https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/maven_plugin.html - If it is possible to convert from Maven poms to Gradle build files, can we do the opposite perhaps? What are our other options? (Of course, I assume bundling the Gradle binary for Fedora is out.) -- Thanks, Regards, Ankur Sinha "FranciscoD" (He / Him / His) | https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha Time zone: Europe/London
