The current king of declarative builds in the Java world is undoubtedly Maven. However, as I have said in a previous post, the current implementation of Maven leaves a lot to be desired. Still, the Maven idea of build-by-convention is still a good one if it can be achieved in a flexible way. This, then, is what attracts me to Gradle — its specific goal of providing build-by-convention without the lock-in.
