Hi all,

We are approaching 4.0.BETA pretty fast and I wanted to check
is there any news about Gradle plugin, as it could be a really nice
final touch for the release.

Currently we have some resources and made small research on
how to integrate Gradle plugin correctly into Cayenne's maven
build routines and ready to either integrate it or proceed and
implement it.

So it will be really great if there is some code ready that we can
just grab and carry on, and even if it's not final you can still make
a pull request so we can continue.

Thanks,
Nikita.
