Gradle is a general-purpose build automation tool. It extends the usage patterns established by its forerunners,Ant and Maven,and allows builds that are expressive,maintainable,and easy to understand. Using a flexible Groovy-based DSL,Gradle provides declarative and extendable language elements that let you model your project’s needs the way you want.
