this is a great piece of supreme history and definitely legit , too bad im broke . glws ! <| sep |> We unfortunately use Gradle and I cannot stand it . It seems to fuck up on my system once every few weeks . Worse , there is nobody in my company who knows gradle the developer who switched us to gradle is no longer there . The gradle . build file keeps changing on its own for some reason and nobody knows what is going on with that and how to stop it . Everyone is pretty fed up with it , but it ' s working . Another reason is we switched from Ant to Gradle and the average build time increased by 6090 seconds . Full builds on Jenkins , however , run 10 minutes . I like Maven myself , we use it for one of our projects and I ' m porting our main application to Maven as well to see if there is any improvement with build time .
