I am very much in favor of a serious exploration of Gradle as a the (one and 
only) build tool for uPortal.

  - It *does* appear to support scripting arbitrary behavior much better than 
Maven and even Ant
  - Cris’ point about maybe we’re doing too much of that is very sensible, but 
even if we make all the best moves, we may chose to do _some_ of that sort of 
thing, particularly around portlets
  - There is compelling evidence that Gradle may make the build much faster, in 
addition to the scripting benefits

It's a uPortal 5 thing, as I understand it, though I’m open-minded.
