Questions
Please ask questions at any the time!
What is Gradle?
Buildtool (Concepts of both Ant and Maven)
Groovy based DSL instead of XML
Multi-project builds
Polyglot Builds
Incremental Build
Lots of Plugins
apply plugin: 'java'
https://plugins.gradle.org/
Incremental builds, build caching and parallelization drives the
Gradle daemon to new heights of performance
Out of the box, Gradle handles transitive dependencies that
resolve across multiple repository types including Maven, Ivy, flat
files.
Linkedin uses Gradle to build 60 different programming languages
including Java, Scala, Python, C/C++, Android, IOS and many many
more.
Robust build analytic capabilities that allow build masters to
see exactly what needs to be optimized and zero in on build
problems. Gain insight into the efficiency of the build pipeline
including which modules are outperforming and which are
lagging.
Sample Gradle script
apply plugin: 'java'
repositories { jcenter() mavenCentral() ivy { url
"http://repo.mycompany.com/repo" }}
task JUGHH { System.out.println(Please the audience) }
dependencies { compile 'org.slf4j:slf4j-api:1.7.12'
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'}
Gradle Wrapper
Project may contain a Gradle wrapper
Linux / Mac
gradlew
Windows
gradlew.bat
./gradlew build
Make sure that the builds runs the same everywhere

Eclipse
We recommend to leave it like in the sreenshot,because all
settings made here are only locally in your Eclipse IDE and
therefore won't be available for others who checkout the
ProjectsTip : Rather specify your settings in the Gradle build
files
Gradle automatically choosesthe right version, which is
definedin the build files orthe latest, if no version is
defined.
The preview also shows the project structure of the overall
import
Gradle Task View
Shows the tasks of the Gradle projects
Filter options in theView's menu
Gradle Execution View
See all running tasks with options to open test files, see
failures and (re-)run tests
Jump to test file and see test summary
Gradle Run Configuration
The New Wizard uses the gradle init --type 'java-library'
command to create this Project
