Packaging a gradle application

["Noé Lopez via Development of GNU Guix and the GNU System distribution." <guix-devel@gnu.org>]

Hi Guix,

Today I thought I'd try to package Mindustry, a libre game I like made
in Java. It uses the gradle build system, and I couldn't find any
trace of gradle in the guix sources or mailing lists.

I only found some gradle packages being built with the ant-build-sytem,
so I tried that for a few hours but I can only get so far as Mindustry
uses some very specific gradle settings that I don't really know how to
replicate with the ant build system, because it is not very flexible.

Is there something stopping us from using gradle to build packages or
has it just not been done before ?

Thanks in advance
Noé Lopez
