$ gradle -v

Gradle doesn't read the pom.xml file to build the project. But it does all the same things the pom normally describes. In your gradle script you must specify the repository location and the dependencies, then gradle should build your project as you expect.

You are supposed to be able to convert a maven project into a gradle project in version 1.11 by using the "init" plugin. 

gradle init --type pom
