I think you mean gradle - but yes, that makes sense.
There were others I was fond of - buildr was one - as far as I know,
the nice things about all these "alternative" tools is that they at
the least reuse the maven repositories and meta data - so it isn't
starting from scratch.
As a consumer of libraries, I like having declarative dependencies, no
matter what my build system is, so that is a good thing.
I think the drools build is pretty much as complex as hibernate - more
so even - drools has a few stand alone components that have quite
fiddly build steps (which still probably aren't fully automated),
things like GWT, building cut down app servers etc... so it is worth
watching closely how hibernate do.
Myself - I know that MarkP has struggled for years with maven, and won
most battles - so the day I see mark switch to gradle/whatever, is the
day I would probably switch.
Build systems can suck time like nothing else, I've wasted so much time
in the past. So in general the less time I spend working on the build
the better, and at the moment it's not taking up a lot of time, so I
have to get a strong itch to swap one pain for another ;)
We will be splitting up the build going forward, so we'll see how much
pain we go through there and whether it creates a strong enough itch.

Maven 3 promises to be compatible - so that is an improvement over
maven1 (not sure if many remember that... oh the horror).

I'm happy to let the hibernate people guinee pig Grails. Initially
we'll move to maven 3 (as it's backwards compatible), and for the
moment
maven is still what most people are familiar with.
We'll be restructuring the build over time and if maven 3 doesn't do
what we need and/or hibernate people are reporting amazing results
with
no sign of improvements to maven, then we can evaluate Grails.
