There are breakthroughs this week: I can successfully build a fully functional Gradle package, and I can successfully install and use it to build other Java projects. My colleague Komal Sukhani also seems to finish the updating of groovy2, the Gradle stage of our GSoC project is almost over.
Things have been progressing surprisingly slowly, not only because both Gradle and Groovy are complicated projects, but also due to the fact that my summer vacation has not come yet which renders me doing a part-time job for GSoC. According to the estimated schedule on my GSoC proposal it will take 3 weeks to package/update Gradle, Groovy and repo (the Android git util), but now we have finished the first two. Next week I may consider switching my focus on libgradle-android-plugin, the Android plugin of Gradle, since Gradle has been updated to 1.12. But before that I will need to check on the lintian errors produced by the updated libnative-platform-jni, otherwise it won't be accepted into unstable and neither would Gradle.
