Ideally, I suppose, but someone needs to write it. Worst case, one can
often call 'javac' directly to bootstrap.

But in the case of something like 'gmaven' where groovy is a first-class
citizen, you'd also have to worry about executing groovy scripts to
produce the .java code to compile.

I am not sure if it's true in the community, but for the version of
hibernate that I worked with a gradle 'rc' version was required as 1.0
final had some API changes. Again, leave it to Java to make major API
breakages during an 'rc' since those letters apparently mean nothing.
