However, to make the name unique and less "diminutive" he instead chose "Gradle", taking the "G" from the use of Groovy. History Origin of the name įounder and CEO Hans Dockter has said that he originally wanted to name the project "Cradle". Gradle is distributed as Free Software under the Apache License 2.0, and was first released in 2008. The software is extensible for new features and programming languages with a plugin subsystem. It produces web-based build visualization called Gradle Build Scans.
It also supports caching of build components, potentially across a shared network using the Gradle Build Cache. Incremental builds are supported by determining the parts of the build tree that are already up to date any task dependent only on those parts does not need to be re-executed. It operates based on a series of build tasks that can run serially or in parallel. Gradle was designed for multi-project builds, which can grow to be large.
Gradle uses a directed acyclic graph to determine the order in which tasks can be run, through providing dependency management. 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.
Supported languages include Java (as well as Kotlin, Groovy, Scala), C/ C++, and JavaScript. It controls the development process in the tasks of compilation and packaging to testing, deployment, and publishing. Gradle is a build automation tool for multi-language software development.
