&gt; Embedded GUI<p>&gt; Gradle: In addition to supporting a traditional command line interface and IDE integration, Gradle offers a graphical user interface. This is a stand alone user interface that can be launched with the --gui option<p>&gt; Maven: X<p>Maven was intended to be used from within an IDE -- that&#x27;s why it doesn&#x27;t provide a GUI and uses XML that is only intended to be manipulated via an IDE rather than edited directly by a user.<p>Also, I don&#x27;t see Apache Groovy mentioned anywhere on that page. Are the Gradle devs ashamed to mention it?
