  Description     : Helper tools for building Debian packages with Gradle

gradle-debian-helper contains helper tools to ease the packaging of Gradle
based projects in Debian. It consists in:

 * a Gradle plugin resolving the dependencies against the system Maven
   repository (/usr/share/maven-repo). The resolver uses the same Maven
   rule files that maven-debian-helper and maven-repo-helper employ
   (debian/maven.rules, debian/maven.ignoreRules). 
 * a debhelper class detecting Gradle build files, initializing the plugin
   and running Gradle in offline mode.
