I know this is a work in progress, but thought some feedback might

The configuration DSL as implemented differs some from the proposal
at http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GRADLE/Dependencies
The proposal was:
configurations {
newConf extends: compile, transitive: true
// alternatively
newConf {
extends = compile
transitive = true
}
existingConf transitive: true
}
The map based syntax does not appear to work - I'm hoping this is
just not implemented yet, because it is nice and concise :)
The more verbose syntax options that works are:
configurations {
newConf {
extendsFrom compile
//or
extendsFrom = [compile]
transitive = true
}
}
The following, however, does not work
configurations {
newConf {
extendsFrom = compile
transitive = true
}
}
Configuration.setExtendsFrom takes a Set of superConfigs not a
single one. This is awkward and most usages will probably have only
a single parameter. Perhaps this should work with both a list and a
single Configuration as was discussed for flatDir earlier today.
We will implement the missing bits in 0.7. I have filed a Jira:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GRADLE-476
This will be part of a generic configuration by map functionality. It
is not that hard to implement but we want to ship 0.6 soon. As this is
about adding functionality, we postpone it therefore.
