Gradle will also be somewhat of a “do it yourself” approach, but in the long run it will be easier to manage than Maven and worth learning. "Gradle is for Ant developers that don't understand Maven" ;-)I'll let you find who said that. But can we get away from the suggestion that there's some kind of linear progression with Gradle at the end of it? Pick the build system that best suits your project.
I tried converting an modular Ant project to Gradle once and I could never figure it out(this was early days when Modules where still new). learning an entire language just to build is a bit much, so I was relying on IDE support. Maven was much easier to transition to since, while not perfect, it at least exists and is usable.
