I'm guessing the gradle jar is deleted because it isn't compiled for guix. But why are these packages (java-htsjdk and java-picard in gnu/packages/bioinformatics.scm) held back to not depend on gradle? If I need a package that uses gradlew to build, what is the best solution for defining it? Thanks, -Jesse
