Title: no sample is working, very complex with modules and gradle that i have never heard
Review: A lot of code samples i downloaded from manning web site, it uses gradle, all are modules and tied to each other and very complex. For example i learned mvc part and i want to run that code but it does not work because this part is tied to jmx part, since i did not read this part i can not understand and it is giving error. what is gradle? SHould i learn it for running the sample, so i have to buy another book in order to read this book? I would be better if it is just eclipse project with maven. And book also does not gives deep explanation, just gives overall understanding. I feel all chapter like getting started part, since it does not give any deep explanation. It covered a lot of things with small book, it would better if it covered less things with deep explanation rather that brief description
