Paul, others,... I find it quite remarkable that Polygene is one of the small projects at ASF, but has one of the most sophisticated build systems, far more advanced that most other projects, with only a handful of exceptions. And those cases, I doubt is as elegant as what we have here.
Anyway, just want to highlight the impressive work that Paul has put into it. A few things that practically no other projects do; * License checks * License and attribution aggregation. * Docker container launch (if possible) for integration tests with foreign systems. * After building the source release, building that release itself to ensure it also works. I am sure I have forgotten many important details, and invite Paul to expand this list. I think it can serve as inspiration for others, who are using (or want to start to use) Gradle.
