daily quotes
Programming is not a zero-sum game. Teaching something to a fellow programmer doesn't take it away from you. I'm happy to share what I can, because I'm in it for the love of programming.

I don't compare apples to oranges
Hi ant-box,
thanks for your comment, but I'm afraid you didn't get the point. I'm not saying that Maven is no match to Ant/Groovy/Shell scripts when it comes to writing install scripts - because it is obvious.
The original script was 90% Ant and 10% Maven (for dependency handling only). It is now much readable and maintainable after moving to Gradle. What I'm trying to demonstrate, is that Gradle is much more powerful than Ant & Maven together for writing such stuff.
