Package: gradle
Version: 1.5-2
Severity: wishlist


A few weeks ago we had a discussion with the Fedora maintainer of
Gradle in #debian-java. He told us that Fedora uses groovyc to compile
and bootstrap Gradle. I think this method should be considered for the
Debian package too because it is an improvement over downloading a
pre-built binary. Patches and more information can be found at:
