[jsword-devel] If Gradle is an improvement would you please post your files for a JSword build?

[Chris Burrell]

I've never used Gradle but have used Maven a little bit. What would be nice
is that I could build my JSword dependant project by retrieving the latest
build from the repository.

Does Gradle offer this?
[Just thought I'd add thoughts from a developer who uses JSword as a
library, rather than develops JSword itself!]

and the link is gradle.org, not .com
