What we have (jars and all) will be on the 2.7 branch, where Gradle 
would not go any further than I got with jython-slim. GitHub discourages 
large binary files, and large repos generally, but we're not at the 
point where it makes us use their large file store.

I've been doing a project with just Gradle (and structured according to 
Gradle's liking, which was my point). I foresee a 3.8 branch built the 
same way and not using ant or checking in dependencies at all.
