There's a lot on the Grails roadmap. What features do you most want to see there?

Here's a little xmas present, so to say a gradle instead of a cradle :-) Enjoy this interview about the Gradle build system with Hans Dockter. We sometimes had some connection issues but still it should be easy to follow (except we both speak ugly German English...)

Gradle is a innovative build system that just released v0.5. Hans Dockter is a independent software developer and trainer for Skills Matter and the current project lead for Gradle.
