Gradle The Innovation Continues
About Us

Gradle
Build automation evolved.
Gradle can automate the building, testing, publishing, deployment and more of
software packages or other types of projects such as generated static websites,
generated documentation or indeed anything else.
JVM based
Implemented in Java, Groovy outer layer
100% Free Open Source - Apache Standard License 2.0

The Road to 1.0
Gradle 1.0 Released 12th June 2012.
The innovation Releases roughly every 6 weeks
continues …
Clickable report URLs
Whenever a task that produces some kind of report fails, you get a URL to the
report file.
This makes it much easier to open.
Linux - directly clickable (most terminals)
Mac OS - + click to open
Windows - copy/paste
Small feature, surprisingly useful.
Upgrade Assistance
Gradle has a frequent release cycle, we want to help you keep current.
The “build comparison” support facilitates testing your build with different
versions.
Verify that your outputs are the same with the new Gradle version.
Maven conversion
Convert a pom.xml to a build.gradle
Gives you a staring point
Incubating!
Test Output
Detailed test information, in the console
Stacktraces
Events (e.g. skipped) T
unable and flexible M
ultiple logging levels
There’s a very detailed forum post on this.
New dependency report
Indicates both requested and selected versions
Much better insight into version conflicts
(previous version only showed selected)
Dependency Insight
Inverse of dependencies report
Shows path to a dependency
Explains how/why a dependency is in the graph
Dependency resolution API
ResolutionResult
A model of the resolved dependency graph
requested and selected
Selection reason
Basis for new dependency reports
Fine grained conflict handling rules
Performance & Relevance depends on scenarios
Memory
Parallel execution
–parallel
–parallel-threads=«num»
Incubating!
Compiler For Java, Groovy, Scala
Daemons
Incremental Scala Zinc (SBT) integration
Compile
Native A platform wonderland

Live Demo
Android
apply plugin: 'android'
version = '1.0'
android {
target'android-16'
productFlavors{
fre{e packageName =
paid
}
buildTypes{ custom }
'org.gradle.sample.free' }
}
sourceSets {
mai.njava.srcDir 'some-dir' mai.nresour
ces.srcDir 'some-resources' fre.ejava.
srcDir 'some-free-dir'
}
Looking forward Some things in the pipeline…
Dependency management
We are continuing to add new dependency management features, primarily for
conflict control and precision.
Also working on a new model to cover:
Variants
Publication types (beyond single file)
Context sensitive dependency consumption
Implicit plugins
Being able to have plugins applied automatically. For
example, based on the name of a requested task.
That is, no need to add wrapper or compareGradleBuilds tasks.
JavaScript
Improving the documentation for the existing JavaScript support in Gradle.
Minification/Compression St
atic Analysis (e.g. JSHint) Tra
nspiling (e.g. CoffeeScript) Te
st Execution (e.g. Jasmine)
All based on a general purpose JavaScript tool toolkit (based on Rhino).
C/C++
Plugin D
evelopers
Enterprise
scalability
