As a follow-up to this mail:
The only package that required Gradle was Hibernate. Recently (thanks to
Gil) I migrated it from Gradle back to Maven. It works perfectly and is
way easier to maintain now. You can see the spec file here:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/hibernate.git/tree/hibernate.spec
I've opened a bug report to retire Grade in Rawhide and in Fedora 20:

In bug #976330[1], there's been some discussion of the desire to
upgrade Gradle from 1.0 to a new version (currently 1.8), and that
there is significant hassle to actually do so. Some of this hassle I
see in the bugs blocking 976330 - upgrading to Aether, newer Plexus
containers, and maybe Polyglot Maven.
What are the key issues that make it difficult to upgrade and maintain
Gradle in Fedora? The likely ones I see:
- Incompatible dependencies (Gradle may require package versions no
longer shipped in Fedora)
- Bootstrapping problems (the Gradle 1.8 sources won't build with
Gradle 1.8, they seem to require 1.7)
- Possibly library embedding (although the Gradle sources do seem to
pull in the dependencies from Maven)
