Hi there. See this gist for deets.

My best guess thus far is that i'm missing some libraries or something?

I'm going to take a random stab at this~
Are you sure your EE3 repository is correctly set up? Gradle comes with everything you need except the Java JDK.

Just took a look at FML's repo, it seems like they had a bugged build.gradle that had to do with deployJars. Not sure if that's relevant though.

This gradle task is not EE3 related - it's part of ForgeGradle. Check out the MinecraftForge repo for similiar issues and to see if there are any fixes for you.

If KiwiStrongis' problem is anything like mine - it has nothing to do with EE3 OR ForgeGradle, but the fact that his distro has a crippled install of gradle. Fedora 19, while it does have Gradle 1.0, disables the maven plugin. Rather than go down that rabbit hole (20+ patches disabling or "fixing" things to meet Fedora guidelines), I just uninstalled the Fedora version, and installed latest Gradle 1.10 from zip, to /opt/gradle, and added /opt/gradle/bin to my path. Voila. Working EE3 build.

Oh, I forgot the main reason I posted my reply: to ask Pahimar to at least mention the fact that gradle is not "complete" as shipped by Fedora, in the hopes that it will saves others time and grief.

Thanks!

I'll update the README unless Lluixhi gets to it first ;)

Huh. I'll try that ( when I have time... ).
