I'd like to find a simple, non-trivial Java project that is expressed in terms of Ant + Ivy, Maven, Gant, and Gradle. I'm not interested in each tool's varied sample demos.
Where can I find such an example, for reference?

A:
I couldn't find one, so I'm working on such an example. The project is hosted here on GitHub, and is freely available without an account.
The first 'simple' example uses a Java POJO, a Hibernate mapping file, and an integration test. It is expressed in Ant, Ant + Ivy, Maven, Gant, and Gradle. Though modest, the integration test passes in each case.

Thank you for the effort. If I may comment (and please let me know if there's a better forum), but the Gradle one doesn't look like Gradle.Is there a reason you're not using the java plugin for Gradle, and defining dependencies? It just feels like an Ant script.

re: forum. If you have an account on GitHub, you can probably message me or possibly open an issue. If not, here is fine with me.I agree that the current example isn't done in a way that is idiomatic to Gradle. It is a work in progress. I hope to update the site soon with a couple of different styles of Gradle. thanks for the note

FWIW, there is a new Gradle example that uses the Java plugin. I encourage readers to file further issues on GitHub or send me an email (see my blog for contact info). Feedback is welcome.
