uPortal Devs, I have set aside some time to take a look at the uPortal build system and see if we can move away from the ant/maven hybrid setup and either to a pure maven-based build or perhaps even use Gradle. I am leaning more and more towards Gradle as that would take care of a lot of scripting ant-like tasks that exist today and certainly is easier to write and configure the build with. The downside is there aren't too many plugins available for Gradle like they are with Maven so depending on the pluginset uPortal uses today we might run into a few roadblocks.
So questions are: 1. How do others feel about this build tool and the approach? 2. Has anybody begun working on the same proposal locally perhaps? 3. What uPortal release should this be targeted to? I'd assume 5.0 as this would be a pretty big change both in scope and the effort/time required to implement this.
