> Dropwizard [...] forces you to use maven and they refuse to help you with gradle The configuration syntax (YAML) shown in https://dropwizard.github.io/dropwizard/manual/configuration.html https://dropwizard.github.io/dropwizard/manual/configuration... looks quite nice. It says there you can use JSON instead. The syntax Gradle uses (i.e. Groovy) has a lot of cruft, including even a full programming language, which can be misused in build config files so best steer clear.
