---------------------------------------

{{but at the very least : lets not wrap maven into gradle. that won't solve 
anything other than just making two levels of java indirection for something 
that really could just be done in a shell script.}}

I agree, gradle calling maven makes no sense.  My point was to do something 
like the following

{code}
$ ls -1 bigtop-tests
itest
smoke
regression
build.gradle
gradle
gradlew
{code}

So I can then do the following

{code}
./gradlew :smoke:test -Dsmoke.tests=mapreduce
./gradlew :regression:test
{code}

This would solve the itest problem since you are now in one build system, so 
for mapreduce, its build.gradle says

{code}
dependencies {
  compile project(':itest')
}
{code}

Gradle will only compile whats needed, so this will be just as fast as using 
source, if not faster since you no longer require to recompile itest on every 
run.

> all smoke-tests should compile and use iTest as source, no jar.  Remove ITEST 
> env variable.

> If you try to run the smoke tests without setting {{BIGTOP_HOME}} they will 
> run and be unable to find tests, so nothing runs. This variable should be 
> added to checkEnv to make sure its present while running
