did anyone generate gradle files from mx ?

[ymolists]

The code in mx.py is simple to follow to generate gradle files instead of eclipse/intellij. Has anyone done this yet ? and anything i should be worried about ?

I am worried that the conversion might not be as easy as i am thinking it will be ? anything i should watch out for ?

Generating these IDE configs has historically been tricky because there's quite some guess work involved (IDE's make the assumption things are configure in the IDE itself so don't extensively document the format of their config files). Gradle should be simpler in that sense. I think a lot of people would be interested in being able to build Graal with Gradle so I can try help if you get stuck trying to add this support.

That would be super amazing thank you ! I will see what can do with python as a coding challenge/exercise/brain-teaser !
