"I use it to generate Java code all the time. I would just put those things in the code itself. You can see this in my redis generator here:

"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."

"It is certainly the most arcane frontend of any technology I have to work with on a daily basis. I wish people would focus on making that experience better rather than reinventing the whole thing. On the IDE side, I find it unlikely that the tooling will ever be up to par because of all the scripting that is basically a black box and not really usable by the IDE."

"Perhaps they should pull it out of apache. My understanding is that mostly apache org politics slows down their development and reaction to the community.
As for scripting... plugins are the right answer for this since they are much easier to maintain than arbitrary code in the build file and over time they can be shared and reused. Scripting code in the build is a black box that makes any further optimization or integration impossible."

"I agree with all your points about what maven lacks. I just don't see those problems being solved by the other tools. Most of their work is just getting on par with maven's base functionality.
The community would be well served spending its time adding incremental builds and other actually interesting features to the build tools. Your comment did make me seek out a solution though and I am now testing the incremental-build-plugin. Here is a blog entry about it:

Version 1.6 under a different package is available and what I am testing with."

"You can totally do internal iteration in Java <= 8 with anonymous inner classes. It just isn't as terse as it will be in Java 8. Google Guava's collection API is the most widely used system for doing this and the IDE support for it is quite good and cleans up much of the verbosity."

"What is the suggested fix? Does this mean that *.tumblr.com basically can't use it? Maybe tiered with a larger limit for the top level domain that includes the sum of the subdomains?"
