A Gradle build would be nice. I'm willing to invest some time trying to help make it happen if need be. But I am curious.., it looks like someone started a Maven build a while back.. From what I can see it seems to maybe be incomplete, or just bit-rotted. But depending on the details of the state of that work, would there be any reason to prefer sticking with maven? (FSM help me, I can't believe I just said that in a public forum).
I'm not the biggest Maven fan in the world, so I only raise this issue from the "can we use existing work instead of starting from scratch" perspective. Phil
