Interesting: Hibernate to drop Maven for Gradle?

I just came across this post Gradle: why? where JBoss project lead Steve Ebersole explains why Hibernate is being moved from Maven to Gradle as build management tool.

Interesting read, I can actually relate to the the multi-module arguments and I am also fond of Gradle’s approach “Configuration is code”. Hmm. Is it ready yet?

Here’s a little tool I wrote while reviewing a client’s fairly complex project:

Pom Grapher generates a graph from multi-module and parent-child relationships of Maven projects (POMs).

My use-case was to understand the POMs relations in order to understand the build.
It produces a graphic representation of the modules (nodes) and parent project and sub-module relations (edges) using GraphViz.
Here is a (tiny) excerpt from Apache Geronimo:

black edges indicate module relation, orange edges indicate parent project relations.

This is intended for understanding POM structures, not artifact dependencies.

It can be found over at source.valtech.com.
