Bug#587832: RFS: gradle

[Miguel Landaeta <miguel@miguel.cc>]

Hi team,

I prepared packages for Gradle (yet another build system but
based on Groovy) since I'm interested in Groovy software and
I'm finding increasingly more and more software
build-depending on that. Some examples of this are: Groovy 
itself, Grails, GPars and Hibernate.

I understand if nobody has time at this moment to review 
this because of the freeze but if somebody can take a look,
it would be great.

Please see below the usual template for new packages:

* Package name    : gradle
  Version         : 0.9~rc1-1
  Upstream Author : Hans Dockter
* URL             : http://gradle.org/
* License         : Apache-2.0
  Section         : java

It builds these binary packages:
gradle     - Groovy based build system
gradle-doc - Documentation for gradle
libgradle-announce-java - Groovy based build system - Announce plugin
libgradle-antlr-java - Groovy based build system - ANTLR plugin
libgradle-code-quality-java - Groovy based build system - Code quality plugin
libgradle-core-java - Groovy based build system - Core library
libgradle-eclipse-java - Groovy based build system - Eclipse plugin
libgradle-idea-java - Groovy based build system - IDEA plugin
libgradle-jetty-java - Groovy based build system - Jetty plugin
libgradle-maven-java - Groovy based build system - Maven plugin
libgradle-osgi-java - Groovy based build system - OSGi plugin
libgradle-plugins-java - Groovy based build system - Core plugins
libgradle-scala-java - Groovy based build system - Scala plugin
libgradle-wrapper-java - Groovy based build system - Wrapper plugin

The package is lintian clean.
The upload would fix these bugs: 587832.

My motivation for maintaining this package is:
Please look at the begin of this email.

The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/gradle
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free
- dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/gradle/gradle_0.9~rc1-1.dsc
- Vcs-Git: git://git.debian.org/pkg-java/gradle.git

Note: this package build-depends on itself, so I provided a
bootstrap target in rules files to build an initial package from
the binary upstream distribution. With that package, gradle
can be rebuilt with itself from source. Let me know if this is 
not the correct procedure with packages that build-depends 
on themselves.

Cheers,
