I am not quite sure if we have the same goals. They want to combine Groovy and Maven but I want to create a replacement for Maven 2. I was very critical of Maven 2 even before it was released and still prefer Maven 1 over 2. Now Jelly is not really my scripting language of choice, Maven 1 has no transitive dependency support and its development has more or less seized. I selected Groovy as scripting language because I can mix Ant statements with scripting code. Later I decide to use Groovy for the entire project rather than just for the plugin scripting.
Nevertheless I will check out their code because my Groovy coding is still more like Java than Groovy.

As announced today at the LA-JUG I released the POC of the Guilder
Project. You can read about it and also download the installer from:
https://madplanet.com/trac/guilder
Basically Guilder indents to replace Maven 2 bringing back some of the
great features of Maven 1 as well as adding new and hopefully cool
features. The project is written in Groovy including the POM, the
Plugins and the core code. Guilder builds itself using its own code.
This release is just a proof of concept and an invitation for you guys
to give feedback to decide on the future of the project.
This reminds me of the Graven project:
http://code.google.com/p/graven/
I heard about it at work from the project lead, Sam Pullara. I don't
know if it was ever announced on this list, but I know that Luke Daley
(the other listed member of the project) is on this list. You guys might
want to collaborate since you seem to be trying to do something similar.
