Hello Yennick,
as I have never been a fan of maven - mostly because of the flex mojo
implementation: I think this is awesome!
Specially after peeking into the syntax and that its released under the APL!
Out of curiosity:
*) The SDK (and some applications) has code that is timezone specific
(different output in a different timezone):
Does Gradle support to run the same tests in different
environments and eventually compiler settings?
*) Some of the functionality might require to be tested against the
adl and not the flash player, does that work?
yours
Martin.

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.
