Not sure if this is actually your problem, but from that log it looks like it's actually using the 1.6 JDK: setting 'sun.boot.library.path' to '/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Libraries' setting 'java.runtime.version' to '1.6.0_65-b14-462-11M4609' 'java.endorsed.dirs' to '/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/lib/endorsed' Try setting your JAVA_HOME environment variable to the 1.7 JDK path?

edit: Java 8 doesn't work with 1.6.4 ForgeGradle, make sure your JAVA_HOME is set to a java 7 JDK.

In BackupModContainer, "InputStream modInfo = BackupModContainer.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("mcmod.info");" should probably be "InputStream modInfo = BackupModContainer.class.getResourceAsStream("/mcmod.info");". Currently it finds the first modinfo file in the classpath, which isn't necessarily the right modinfo file.

I settled on including this script. A maven repo isn't too important, however it may be a good idea as many bukkit plugin developers already use maven for their builds. Just wondering, what do you like to use instead of maven? Your own build scripts, ant, or something else? PS: Only tangentially related, here's a small suggestion for an improvement to your current repo: make it easy to see the version number of the recommended build, instead of needing to download it and check the version properties file.

It would be nice to have a maven repository with forge builds, it's nice not to need to include forge jars in your repo while still allowing for single-step builds. (Ok, two if you include cloning the repo, or downloading a tarball! )
