Presentation Information Enter the Gradle by Ken Sipe

In the Java build space, first there was ANT, which provided a reliable way
to build without an IDE. Then there was Maven, which provided
standardization in build life cycles and dependency management. Now… Enter
the Gradle, which provides convention over configuration approach to the
build process and an approach at building that isn’t based XML.

This session assumes no familiarly with Gradle as it introduces this new
approach at building projects. It is very helpful to be able to read and
understand groovy to get the most from the session. This session will look
at multi-language or polyglot projects, as well as integration to ANT and
Maven. It will conclude with building custom plugins for the Gradle build
process.
