Ok I 'll bite. I don't have a preference maven over gradle. For me the cost of the transition (several projects) is so big that the exact details of who (maven or gradle) is going to torture me seems minor.
That said and in no particular order: -web pages and people state that gradle is prohibitively slow. I find that hard to believe but a lot of people seems to reiterate it, -Will I be able to maintain my own project structure (src/) or I will have to succumb to a ten level directory depth (prj/main/src/java/) like my life is not complicated enough? It's absolutely no fun to rearrange several projects just for somebody else shake. Maven looks like such an XML straitjacket that I am not sure breathing is allowed without issuing $mvn breathe first. -How about IDE integration? I don't want to maintain the same settings (classpath, included projects) twice. Right now a custom script of mine parses .classpath eclipse files and create ant build files. Not great but it was beating the competition when maven was introducing itself into the world (~2009). How gradle/maven handles that? Should I use eclipse plugins? What about other IDE? -Surely gradle looks saner. Is it mature enough? Or it will start the "I can't let you do that Dave" on me? Will it try to download the Internet like maven? And yes I know - I have to do it eventually. On Fri, Aug 12, 2016 at 7:46 PM, Thomas Broyer <[email protected]> wrote: > <troll-or-maybe-not-so-much> > Maven?!
