Hi,

First, I'm really curious and interested in the result of this refactoring.

I'll continue to use maven for several projects, some depending on Qi4j. Gradle 
seems to provide interoperability in this regard so, I'm glad :)

I won't use the (bin | src) distributions a lot but I have a few thoughts.

Classpath in java can easily become a mess. A big directory containing all 
dependencies of all modules and submodules feels bad to me.
As a developer, how do I know which jar to include in my classpath depending on 
what qi4j modules I use? That's what maven & gradle can do for me but isn't the 
(bin | src) distributions for people that don't want to go the super-build-tool 
way?

I'm concerned about IDE support too, I use Netbeans and gradle projects are not 
supported yet, neither by gradle or netbeans. I'll have to live with that and 
go 
through long wizards to set up qi4j projects in my IDE until gradle fix 
GRADLE-112 .

Paul
