Gradle is a key Java build tool, and is the tool that Android Studio uses. Gradle lets you compile and test your code, create jars and wars for your applications, generate Javadoc, and much more.
Gradle is a Java tool that manages your build environment. It lets you build test and run your code. Through plugins it is easily extendable. While Gradle itself is written in Java it provides two DSLs: one that is written in Groovy and one that is written in Kotlin, in which you write the configuration scripts. This course, Gradle Fundamentals, covers the essentials of Gradle. First, you will learn about writing basic build scripts in the DSL. Next, you will discover how to runn Java and Kotlin builds. Then, you will explore unit testing with JUnit 4 and JUnit 5. Gradle does not provide its own dependency management system but instead can use Maven's or Ivy's. You will see how to configure and use both of these systems. The course also shows how to test with both JUnit 4 and how to configure your Gradle scripts to test with JUnit 5. Finally, the class looks at the Gradle 'wrapper' - a mechanism to ensure your developers always use the correct version of Gradle. By the end of this course, you will know how to use Gradle to manage project with one or more builds. All examples throughout the class use both the Kotlin and Groovy DSLs and all the demo code has the examples in both languages.
