Ideally, I suppose, but someone needs to write it. Worst case, one can often call 'javac' directly to bootstrap. But in the case of something like 'gmaven' where groovy is a first-class citizen, you'd also have to worry about executing groovy scripts to produce the .java code to compile. > To me the exit criteria of having a working Gradle is seeing Hibernate 4 > build. So if you can fire that up, then we have working bits. :-) I am not sure if it's true in the community, but for the version of hibernate that I worked with a gradle 'rc' version was required as 1.0 final had some API changes. Again, leave it to Java to make major API breakages during an 'rc' since those letters apparently mean nothing. -- java-devel mailing list java-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/java-devel
