package latest Gradle 2.x
implement local resolver so that packages can be built with Gradle
- this includes Gradle itself
package older Gradle from 1.x line, if needed (optionall)
- some projects won't compile with Gradle 2.x or even incompatible version from 1.x line

report usage of non-free JSON library (org.json:json) (http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/XSTR-763)
- "The Software shall be used for Good, not Evil."
- android-json-org-java can be used as free replacement
packaging
- update to newer version
  - groovy (1.8.x -> 2.3.x, RHBZ #843417)
  - spock-core (RHBZ #1154731)
- new packages
  - sonar (code quality framework, RHBZ #848096) (msimacek)
  - zinc (incremental Scala compiler)
  - gpars (groovy dep, RHBZ #1163724)
patching Gradle
- port to apache-sshd 0.11.0 (uses 0.10.0, minor patch)
- port to aether-ant-tasks from maven-ant-tasks

Plan for bootstrapping Gradle in Fedora.

People involved: Mikolaj Izdebski

Current state: during phase 4

build rpm package containing upstream binaries
rebuild Gradle from source
- all dependencies coming from the Internet
from now on:
- Gradle can be installed from rpm
- results: https://mizdebsk.fedorapeople.org/gradle/stage1/

implement local mode using XMvn
package all Gradle build dependencies in wrapper rpm
- binaries taken from the Internet
- XMvn metadata added
from now on:
- Gradle can be built in isolated environment without Internet access
- new rpm packages can be created which use gradle as build system
- results: http://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/mizdebsk/gradle/

while wrapper rpm is not empty:
- pick one artifact from wrapper rpm
- if it is not yet available in fedora:
  - build it from source and package it as rpm
  - skip tests if there are too many missing test dependencies
  - add any missing build or test dependencies to wrapper rpm
- rebuild Gradle and run tests to make sure everything keeps working
- if there are build or test failures, debug them and create patches
get rid of wrapper rpm
from now on:
- Gradle with all dependencies are free from prebuilt binaries
- everything is patched to work with artifact versions available in Fedora
