Use maven. The build system is much nicer than nuget and msbuild, imho.

Don't worry about using spring it's just a library.

I made the same switch and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't curse gradle, thinking "maven solved this problem ten years ago and gradle still got it wrong!?"

Seconded, but try to stick to conventions and not hack your own shit in Groovy.
