In another project, I have been using Gradle as build tool.

It makes a few things simpler and seems to be more actively maintained.

  • no XML anymore
  • modules/plugins for code formatting, avoiding our custom solution
  • support for maven central and maven dependencies (getting rid of SOMns-deps)
  • support for http mirrors (avoiding build issues when some internet service is down)
  • there is probably support/plugins for JaCoCo, and CheckStyle to avoid custom code there, too

And possibly:

  • we might be able to avoid having Eclipse projects in the repo, and only one truth (the gradle build file), which could make it easier to use other IDEs

Another benefit of moving to Gradle would be support for GitHub's dependency detection and security issue system:
