And since I'm not a professional software developer I also don't really know what it's supposed to do. With gradle you define a task (uploadArchives) which specifies repositories, where the resulting artifacts are supposed to be published. For maven repos it generates a pom.xml, for Ivy it generates an ivy.xml and for a simple ftp site it just puts the file there. At least this is my understanding how it works. For me this is sufficient. One can also have multiple archive definitions containing differents sets of artifacts with different upload tasks. So there is also some flexibility if necessary. My main concern with ant, is that you can't really control what happens. For the eg. VimClojure installation I have to know the systems, because directories are named differently on Unix and Windows. In ant this is a real problem (if I go with stock ant). Or for contrib: In my Ivy-enabled fork I generate build.xmls for the different components, because you can't really do it in build.xml. In gradle (and lancet for that matter), I can define a function (lancet: macro) to set up a component and then simply iterate over the component definitions. As soon as lancet integrates with ivy I will probably happily switch over since I still prefer Clojure over Groovy. But for now Gradle just does the trick for me.
