Enabling Gradle without enabling support for Groovy in the editor doesn't make much sense to me. While I know that Kotlin guys are trying hard to replace Groovy, 95% project build scripts is still in Groovy, I'd bet. C/C++ support is likely to end up in a `cnd` cluster. That cluster never had a dependency on `java` cluster. The `cnd` functionality is using Ant (for historical reasons, I'd say) - however to do that the basic Ant support had to be moved to an artificially created `extide` cluster. The logic was that Ant is too Java oriented to belong into generic `ide` cluster (mostly editor, version control, etc.). Gradle is certainly also "too Java oriented". Maybe it belongs next to Ant into `extide`? ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
