Muhammad>gradle supports parallel execution

The good thing is Gradle can run tests from "core" in parallel with javadoc
build for "cassandra" and so on.

I don't use Eclipse, however:
1) They say Gradle projects could be imported to Eclipse just fine.
I'm updating Apache JMeter's build system to Gradle at the moment (see
https://github.com/apache/jmeter/pull/448 ),
and you can try importing the project to see how it feels like (see gradle
branch https://github.com/vlsi/jmeter/tree/gradle ).

You can try importing https://github.com/ben-manes/caffeine/ , or
https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/ or whatever you like.
However I'm inclined to Kotlin-based DSL, as it has way less magic than in
Groovy-based scripts.

2) Gradle is very easy to customize. That is if default import somehow
fails, the build script can contain customizations to make import better.
For instance, you can check
