Ok, I have solved the first of the three points (note to self: RTFM (ok, did that), don't think you understood it and RTFM again). The problem was that I didn't declare all dependencies required to _compile_ the project. Transitive in Maven gets you the transitive ones for compilation also, which can muddy the waters. And finding a good JMS jar is always a problem.
The other issues are still open. Cheers, Daniel PS: As a help for Maven deserters please add highlighted boxes for transitioning to the guide. This one will bug many first time Gradle users coming from Maven.
