This is what I was hoping to get away from.
At the first hurdle having to manually create the directories and files or having to drop into Maven to get started puts me off. I think it would be a real seller if I could create all the files and directories I needed (including the skeleton gradle.build) from just a command (or two). I only used Maven as an example but I was mindful other projects have the facility to take care of many of these manual tasks (e.g. Grails and scaffolding). After all the gradle motto is: impossible possible, the possible easy, and the easy elegant. Regards, Richard. Ps. I'd be quite happy to write some of this myself - just want to know if it's something that people would go for.
