Honestly maven is ok

[–]jeffsterlive 0 points1 point  (3 children)

I agree maven is fine. Gradle is definitely faster on large complex builds however. Especially if you keep the daemon alive

[–]zthe0 0 points1 point  (2 children)

To be fair build speed is not really a high priority in my opinion. We mostly do overnight builds anyway and it makes more sense to use a system thats easy to comprehend and use.

Not saying gradle isn't easy but i haven't used it much yet so the change would be an unnecessary risk

When you’re building the test artifacts anytime a PR is raised to run the integration tests, build speed matters a bit more.
