I have a few, essentially trivial, points: -- I like using Build as the name of directory but that is because I tend to use initial capital for directory names and initial lower case for file names. -- With the script called build.gradle, the directory name build is a bit irritating when it comes to command line completion. -- Where there are multiple build systems for a given project, consistency of default naming is helpful. -- Even people who don't use Maven are beginning to use the Maven structuring conventions. PS Any news on making Gradle HEAD buildable? I am still getting: Exception: org.gradle.api.GradleScriptException: : Warning: Could not find file /home/Checkouts/Bazaar/GradleCore_Trunk/src/docs/userguide/master.pdf to copy.
