Hi Peter, Congrats on all the work you've put into this project. Modularizing the project is a big step forward. As you know I've been using Maven for my projects, but lately I've found that Gradle provides a much more powerful, straight forward and flexible approach for project automation, especially for multi-module projects.
You can take a look at what a Gradle project would look like with River here (https://github.com/dreedyman/apache-river-example). If you'd like I could work with you and see what a Gradle version of JGDMS would look like, IMO it will simplify the project greatly.
