The nearest conference is JPoint 2025, April 3–4 (Moscow + broadcast). Details and tickets: https://jrg.su/T2zfbS — — . . . . Evgeny Borisov — Power of Gradle JUG.ru meeting 08/31/2013 Are you tired of working with Ant? Are you tired of the lack of flexibility in Maven? Would you like to use the most modern and simple framework for automating the assembly of projects? This report will introduce you to Gradle, the most optimal builder to date. Gradle tries to combine all the advantages of Ant, Maven and Ivy. And present the result using Groovy. Now, instead of crossing Batch scripts, java and xml configuration files, you can simply write a few lines of code in the Groovy dialect and enjoy life. The dialect is specifically designed to describe building, testing, deploying, exporting, and any other project actions you can think of. During the talk, you will learn how Gradle can help solve problems that we face every day in the process of building a project, and learn about the advantages of declarative build over imperative without the usual difficulties. We will also talk about how easy it is to switch from Ant to Gradle and what its advantages are over maven. This presentation will end with a demonstration of Gradle working on a non-trivial build problem.
