Justin Mclean commented on QUARKS-139:
--------------------------------------
I used both and I'm not sure simpler is the case. It does arguable have more
features and is more flexible than maven. End of the day just pick one and use
it and using one is better than not using one (just like version control).
Perhaps ask on list to see who has experience with either. Try not to descend
into a tech vs tech debate.

> Key: QUARKS-139

> Project: Quarks
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Analytics, API, Applications, Connectors, Console,
> Documentation, Miscellaneous, Runtime, Samples, Test, Utils
> Reporter: Lance Feagan
> Labels: build
> Original Estimate: 168h
> Remaining Estimate: 168h

> By moving to a build system that supports transitive dependency management,
> the repository size can be decreased and users can more easily integrate
> quarks with their own applications by allowing the version of a dependency to
> float within an acceptable range, assuming proper semantic versioning of the
> dependencies.
> I have an initial set of work for this effort completed using gradle. Nearly
> all sub-projects build at this time--the notable exception being the
> android-dependent sub-projects. The other notable missing element is the
> integration of JaCoCo. In both cases, these should be simple additions.
