Description

Items that may need to be addressed:

• Testing with OpenJDK early access releases
• Mavenizing
• Test speed
• Update any mentions of ant in the ref guide (on EOE fork)
• Update Confluence, in particular "how to contribute"
• Update Jenkins to not try to run ant anything
• make an eclipse task (netbeans too?)
• various documentation (e.g. README/INSTALL) files still needs to be converted to gradle (on EOE fork)
• fix some relative links in javadocs which contain ant module names
• dev-tools/scripts/* There are a lot of mentions of ant in the .py files, and some in the README.md. This one should probably be its own JIRA since it'll require quite a bit of verification...
• Make "the best damn beasting script in the world" work with the Gradle build.
