Hi, thank you for your reply.
I have since used the migration tool to generate gradle style dependencies
from pom.xml (http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GRADLE-154), but my hope was,
when starting with a project that was already building in maven, with its
dependencies articulated in the pom.xml, to be able to start running builds
using gradle without having to migrate dependencies from one form to another
beforehand.
Then, as advantages of gradle become apparent, to migrate dependencies into
gradle.
But I feel it's valid to have dependencies declared in a pom or ivy file,
but do the building using gradle. After all, it's the building and enhancing
it that's the major problem with maven, not necessarily the dependency
declaration....?
Must be doable since gradle reads poms in maven style repos for transitive
dependencies, so how to do so for primary dependencies?
Sense or nonsense?
