Is there a util for converting a Gradle .module metadata file into a POM.xml? It doesn't have to be rigorous, I want to experiment with something.

None I'm aware of. But I guess it is easy to create.

That'd be a cool reference

Well, I guess just parse the GMM file, Then construct the POM from the parsed information.

group

,

module

,

version

are obvious. And for the dependencies, either rely on the naming, so all that are in

apiElements

go to

compile

scope, all that are in

runtimeElements

but not in

apiElements

go to

runtime

scope. That should be it. Alternatively to relying on the naming, search for those variants with the default capability (without an explicit one) and search for the right variants to use using the attributes, maybe also verifying that the variant has the "default jar" as artifact.
