Hi Phil, It's great to have your help. :)
The maven build structure is almost complete, there are some junit tests that need to be moved over to their relevant modules from the old ant build. After that there will be some minor implementation dependencies between the modules that need to be broken, as well as some issues with the pom files themselves. I believe that the gradle build will utilise the same module layout, so any work getting a maven build working will not go to waste.
It's not at a stage where it builds yet, there is some work remaining. It's probably best to stick with Java 8, as there will be some additional problems building later Java versions.

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
