My commit is not breaking anything. Why remove something that is harmless?

Let's be positive and forward enabling; if a commit is reverted, then that reversion has not stopped any discussion, and now the original committer will have to do more work to re-add what was removed.
Definitely, all commiter try to have a positive attitude to improve OFBiz. Your commit break nothing (on technical aspect), and I'm sure maven would be a good improvement.

Only, Jacopo start a discussion to improve OFBiz with Gradle http://ofbiz.135035.n4.nabble.com/Discussion-migrating-from-Ant-to-Gradle-td4654092.html#a4654170 and adding pom.xml has an effect of bombshell. If you explain before on this thread that maven is better and why, your commit would be appreciate in its just value.

Before your commit I had not idea on gradle or maven, but with my french 
mentality now I prefer Gradle ;) (completely not subjective!)


Gradle is a non-starter.  When I saw that mentioned, I actually did do some 
comparisons.

In google, search for maven, then gradle.  See how many responses each one gets.

Then, go to trends.google.com, compare the above 2 items, and then add ant. You might want to say "apache ant" or "apache maven", and/or add java terms.

Then, also do a "A vs B vs C" search, aka, "maven vs gradle vs ant".

After doing this, maven is still the right choice.




Quantity is not quality


That seems to be a bit of an abrupt statement. Do you have anything more substantive to say? Did you actually attempt to dig down into the suggestions I gave? Or was this a knee-jerk response to my attempt at actually investigating gradle?

It was just a lack of time, I was then just leaving for few days. I always had and still have a reluctance against statistics and the world it's creating around us (think big data). There is of course sound aspects but I fear the humanity will suffer of it in the long term. It relates to my experience in the context of IA where you have mostly 2 approaches: statistical vs logical (OK they are mixing/mixed now http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_intelligence )

So yes was more a knee-jerk response :) I have still not enough time to expand and be totally clear. I hope from my digression above I guess you get my point.
