Why did gradle substitute ant build.xml or even maven?

Nothing against gradle but you guys bring us into a bad situation, in
troubles.
I could successfully build in the past svnkit on OpenVMS using ant -f
build.xml
I was hoping that one day maven will substitute ant build.xml but now I
find that gradle was that substitut

If two build optioins gradle and ant or maven would be suported I would
not claim. BUT 
Gradle may work nicely under Windows and all those *ux* boxes but I have
no information about a gradle running on OpenVMS yet.

Is that Open Source behaviour?

We are trying hard to get svnkit and maven running on OpenVMS as close
as possible at a main development line.
But with every introduction of new build systems we feel further away
and allone from our target to have maven and svnkit doing well.
