It just struck me that you say Gradle doesn't yet have incremental
compilation. I had thought that the whole point of the DAG was that
each and every file was checked separately for needing to be compiled
and that all import dependencies were also checked to ensure that
transitive dependencies on changed files were transmitted through. If
this is not yet the case then it is likely that many people have been
working under a big misapprehension.
One of the biggest problems with Java compilation is that Javac is
basically useless at handling these issues and Ant and Maven (and Gant)
don't do anything extra. This is where SCons wins hugely since it
handles all this very, very carefully. This has to be Gradle's USP --
"no more always building from clean as with Ant and Maven".
Can I suggest that this be the blocking issue for 0.9?
