"I find this build to be entirely too scripted and filled with bespoke configuration and behaviors designed for your custom environment: https://github.com/gradle/grad... You clearly have different taste than me — I would have worked to make this the exemplar build for gradle. I am coming at the problem as someone that consumes open source software and creates builds at startups (dozens to hundreds of modules, but probably only a language or two). Maybe Gradle is the best solution for super complicated builds inside the enterprise. However, I'm not convinced that projects shouldn't also publish a maven pom.xml if they are expecting others to consume their builds. Further, it would be great if gradle would automatically generate one." - Sam Pullara
