After we branch out `release/2.x` ;)
 Kotlin? We need to discuss it before ;)
 Yes we can discuss it in this issue. I have not looked into Kotlin at all so have no opinion atm. You do?
 There are some limitations in Kotlin scripts. It is highlighted also in the [release notes](https://docs.gradle.org/3.0/release-notes):

> ... we are working intensely to make Gradle Script Kotlin fully production ready by the end of the year ...

In addition we have quite extensive build logic written in Groovy and I don't know it is worth to rewrite it just to have nicer code completion in Idea for those not very often times where there is something to change.
 Seem decent arguments to not switch to Kotlin yet :+1: 
 However gradle 3.0 still allows groovy, so that's not a blocker to switch
 And should "always" will:

> Groovy is still the primary build language for Gradle scripts and will **always** be supported
 +1 to keeping groovy build scripts :)
 We cannot do it right now because Gradle 3.0 does not build with java6 and current release is still for java6 :( Let's close and revisit later. We won't forget to bump Gradle :)
 We will switch from Java 6 soon and this issue has not been resolved yet. Therefore reopening to be tracked in waffle.

I assume we already moved the baseline java8 so this should be safe. Nice.
 Yup in https://github.com/mockito/mockito/commit/be755a3d9e8424e8587857390abbc07001644778 :smile: 

Update Gradle to 3.0
Gradle 3.0 is released so we can look into upgrading. Potentially we can rewrite our scripts into Kotlin.
