With my Debian maintainer hat on I have to say that Gradle is a real hindrance and I hope the Tomcat components will stay out of it. Gradle itself is a behemoth that is very difficult to maintain, as a build system it has little respect for backward compatibility, and its imperative nature quickly turns build files into a non standard, project specific, mess. Gradle is barely an improvement over Ant IMHO, but at least Ant is stable and really cares about backward compatibility. Beyond Ant I think a declarative build system like Maven is a saner choice. The tomcat-native fork maintained by netty [1] is built with Maven, maybe we could get some inspiration from it.
