Everything about Gradle

Free software build automation tool

Gradle Build Tool ("Gradle") is a build automation tool for multi-language software development produced by Develocity. It manages tasks like compilation, packaging, testing, deployment, and publishing. Supported languages include Java, C/C++, and JavaScript. Gradle builds on the concepts of Apache Ant and Apache Maven, and introduces a Groovy- and Kotlin-based domain-specific language contrasted with the XML-based project configuration used by Maven. Gradle uses a directed acyclic graph to provide dependency management. The graph is used to determine the order in which tasks should be executed. Gradle runs on the Java Virtual Machine.
