Gradle: Another Java Build System
By admin on Nov 29, 2008 in open source
Gradle is a build system which provides:
- A very flexible general purpose build tool like Ant.
- Switchable, build-by-convention frameworks a la Maven (for Java and Groovy projects). But never lock you in!
- Powerful support for multi-project builds.
- Powerful dependency management (based on Apache Ivy).
- Full support for your existing Maven or Ivy repository infrastructure.
- Support for transitive dependency management without the need for remote repositories and pom.xml or ivy.xml files (optional).
- Ant tasks as first class citizens.
- Groovy build scripts.
