Study and experiment usage of gradle as a replacement of our build system
- Description : For now, we are using ant + a set of custom ant tasks. I think gradle, in addition to keep things from ant, maven and ivy, add interesting possibilities :
- groovy scripting ability : more flexibility than xml based build systems. For example, you can do something before and/or after a given (set of) task(s) : it could be used to transform ant's jar task into a jnode's plugin packager (a jnode plugin is a regular jar file which contain a plugin descriptor file)
