If you are looking for a more flexible build than ANT or Maven, but at the same time utilize Maven or Ivy repositories, you should consider Gradle.

I seriously doubt that it's being used by more than few Java folks. I suspect that people might get tempted by it when migrating some python code to Java, but that's it.

Why would someone use it vs well known/supported(manuals, IDE, tutorials) frameworks? I guess I don't have to name those web frameworks :-).

Why would a Java developer use it vs Grails, JRuby on rails, etc.

  • I second what @lazy said. Not sure any Java developer would ever use it. – Helen Neely Aug 28 '09 at 19:16

    Somehow I don't understand your answer, I'm talking about a build tool! I'm became disenchanted with ant/maven and looking for alternatives. – Mauli Aug 29 '09 at 13:03
