I’m not sure if this is off topic or not (if it is feel free to correct me): I currently feel that the barrier to entry to building JDK applications in the sandbox is way too high.
One of the packages I maintain (Keystore Explorer) is just built by grabbing its prebuild from the release tarball. I also maintain androidenv and it’s historically been difficult to do sandboxed builds of Android applications due to Gradle incompatibility issues.
All this to say: Any change positively affecting the ease of use of Gradle would be very welcome to me.
