I haven't started coding on Tuweni, so I don't deserve a vote. But Beam
moved from Maven to Gradle and it was a huge win. I think many of the
reasons apply here:

 - Maven doesn't do dependency-driven builds at the task level (--also-make
is not this; it is at the module level)
 - Maven doesn't skip tasks that don't need rerunning
 - You can't write custom tasks easily

There are workarounds, generally a `mvn install` up front followed by
repeated `mvn --pl path/to/subproject task@id`. It isn't that great. Maven
is still just fine for individual modules, but for a multi-module project I
wouldn't choose it. Since you have a working multi-module gradle build, I
wouldn't change.
