I noticed Gradle being mentioned in the SDK documentation once or twice (e.g. “Current versions of the Ignition SDK use Gradle instead of Ant.”), so I poked around on the nexus repository and found what appears to be a Gradle Ignition module plugin. However, the publicly accessible SDK documentation only gives instructions for using the Ignition Maven plugin. Is there any plan to document the Gradle plugin in a similar fashion (assuming it is ready to be used)? I would like to move away from Ant sometime in the near future and if there is a working Gradle plugin I will probably go that route rather than Maven. Documentation on how to use the plugin would likely enable me to accomplish this in one step rather than two. Thanks! ---

That gradle plugin is for internal use. That it was published/browseable in Nexus is an oversight. We may release an open source gradle plugin down the road but it’s not a priority right now.
