Gradle is built on IVY, so I presume we need to instruct Ivy to produce the dependency definition in its format, as well as pom.xmls. So, that would then suggest that the lib/, should perhaps be called repository/, follow Maven's spec so users could either setup their own local filesystem repository, or simply drop files into .m2/repository (well, of course that doesn't work with maven's meta files...) > I'm concerned about IDE support too, I use Netbeans and gradle projects are > not > supported yet, neither by gradle or netbeans.

I just voted for GRADLE-112, and with 3 more votes it is in the Top5 list or something.
