Once again, java could stand to learn from Ruby. Maven is terrible for automation (XML is a lousy scripting language).
Gradle? It's better than Maven, but they picked the wrong scripting language. Builds should be interpreted, not compiled. It's painful to leverage code that you need to build as you are in a catch 22 situation - can't reference a class in a gradle file that hasn't been built yet.
