--------------------------------------

Hi [~ieugen]. The gradle build is awesome! Thanks so much for doing this.

I am wondering what the process is to keep it up to date. I tried running the gradle build today, but it exits with errors.

My goal is to adapt it so I can release snapshots. It would be ideal if James released these daily (I think some Apache projects do that), but in the meantime I would be satisfied to be able to do that successfully to my own Nexus server.

I need this so I can attempt to have a proper build/deploy process for my custom James server.

I need that so I can continue with my Documentation project.

>  Creating an issue to track the process of using Gradle for building Apache James.
> There have been a few discussions on this topic from multiple parties.
> The main benefit is having faster builds which Maven is unable to provide because of it's limitations on how it approaches build life-cycle and caching. 
> We should take care of:
> * all that is related to release and deploy (but this can be taken from other Apache projects already using Gradlle)
> * the site building (but this should disappear with the migration to Antora)
> * the mailets plugin
> * checking Spring build
> * adding partial tests on JMAP integration (allowing to run only some smoke tests on some big integration tests suite)
> * adding and configuration the checkstyle plugin
> * updating the Jenkins build
> * documenting the migration for all the users that are building James themselves
