Hi!
The Ceylon Gradle Plugin version 1.3.0 has just been released on Bintray and the Gradle Plugin Repository.
The Ceylon Gradle Plugin is useful when you want to use many Java dependencies and let Gradle resolve them for you.
It also has lots of tasks that can make it much easier to manage Ceylon projects. For example, to compile and run all tests, you just run "gradle check".
You can even run your module's run function, or whatever entryPoint you configure (compiling it first it needed), with "gradle runCeylon" (or even "gradle runC" if it's not ambiguous).
Hope you find it useful.
