This package migrated to Gradle since 0.45.2, at best it'd make sense to add old stable 0.44.0 but beyond that can't easily work on Gentoo right now.

Presently the latest upstream version is "v0.49.19 Development Snapshot". Packaging is easy but only at the cost of bundling some compile dependencies which are not available in ::gentoo:

grep 'does not exist' build.log | cut -d':' -f4-7 | sort | uniq
 package com.thoughtworks.xstream does not exist
 package com.thoughtworks.xstream.converters does not exist
 package com.thoughtworks.xstream.io does not exist
 package freemarker.template does not exist
 package org.nibblesec.tools does not exist

The attached ebuild expects commons-lang-2.6 and commons-text-1.12.0 in the system.  If upstream dropped 'NestableException' we could use commons-lang3 from >=dev-java/commons-lang-3.14.0.
