Hi René - This somehow sounds contradictory ...

Leveraging PDE to build plain java projects (or groovy, scala etc.) is
definitely nonsense!
Let's say we are talking about non-Eclipse Java projects that will result in
an OSGi based application. Couldn't then someone come to the conclusion to
use PDE as the build system?
Well I havn't that deep experience in using pde for building a plain
osgi app. I just know that my collegues use pde to build a set of plain
osgi bundles. I just wanna to mention that this is possible via pde in
general. I would definitely prefere gradle for such a build job, but
again: at least it is possible with pde. PDE requires an installed
eclipse and assumes, that you use eclipse as ide.
As phil mentioned yesterday he has to manage legacy ant builds,
integration with ant tasks and with hudson and co. First of all gradle
has buildin ant support and integrating legacy ant scripts is just a
method call away. Furthermore the gradle api has a rich (imho richer
than ant has) file handling api. There is already a hudson plugin
available for gradle. We use gradle with hudson and it works usually
just fine. We still have some issues with the gradle cache when running
multiple gradle builds in parallel. But we use a 0.9 nightly build
created at the beginning of march. Maybe these issues are already
resolved in a newer snapshot.
@phil, One last sentence: USE GRADLE, its a pleasure!
