Hello folks,

I've just bumped the gradle macport portfile to gradle 0.6.1. This port depends on the groovy - port 1.6.3, since it is build from the source. I'm not sure if the port dependency to groovy 1.6.3 is really nice here. I think most of the gradle users had installed groovy without macports. Any recommendation to that? see http://trac.macports.org/ticket/19845 for further details.


Gradle ignores any installed Groovy version. It uses the one it comes shipped with. This is important as Groovy is not necessarily 100 percent backward compatible, even for revision releases. Relying on the installed Groovy version would seriously affect the Gradle user experience. I'm not sure about the best way to use Gradle with package managers in the future. The downside of our current approach is of course the larger package size.
