Hi, I'm the Co-founder of the GradleFx project, a plugin for the Gradle build system to compile Flex projects. I'm also interested in evaluating Gradle/GradleFx to build the Flex SDK, because I think Gradle will benefit us in the long term. Gradle has basically all the good things from Ant and Maven, without most of the disadvantages. These are some of its features:
- Convention-over-configuration - Advanced multi-project support - Dependency Management (better handling of transitive dependencies) - Groovy scripting instead of xml - Support for Maven and Ivy repositories - Source file change detection (only recompiles the projects which have changed) - Very easy to add custom build logic All this leads to a much shorter build script which is easier to customize and understand.
