href="https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/platforms.html#sub:central-declaration-of-dependencies">Version catalogs</a> are a fairly recent feature in Gradle Build Tool. They help manage dependencies by providing a standardized way of defining and accessing the catalog of dependencies used in a project—ensuring that all developers in a team are aligned on dependency names and definitions saves time and cognitive load for everyone. Like most Gradle features they are quite flexible, so users have to come up with their own conventions for how to use them.</p> <p><img src="https://blog.gradle.org/images/2024/version-catalog-naming/image1.png" alt="alt_text" title="image_tooltip" /></p> <p>In this blog post, we’re going to share some of the best-practices we employ in the <a href="https://gradle.com/develocity/">Develocity</a> team when it comes to managing dependencies using version catalogs.

Gradle avoids recompiling as much as possible by determining if the result of compilation would be identical, even if upstream dependencies have changed.</p> <p>The situation can be illustrated like this: if classes <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">MyApp</code> and <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">NumberUtils</code> are in different projects and <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">MyApp</code>’s project depends on <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">NumberUtils</code>’s project at compile time, then any internal change to <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">NumberUtils</code> does not require <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">MyApp</code>’s project to be recompiled. Both before and after the change, <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">MyApp</code> compiles to identical bytecode, so Gradle can continue to use the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">MyApp.class</code> file it has already built.</p> <p><img src="/images/our-approach-to-faster-compilation/myapp-recompile-diff.png" alt="A... <p><a href="https://blog.gradle.org/our-approach-to-faster-compilation">❯ Read more</a></p> </article> <article class="post"> <h1 class="post-title"> <a href="https://blog.gradle.org/plugin-portal-outage-followup">Plugin Portal Outage Followup</a> </h1> <div class="post-meta"> <div class="post-date"> <svg width="16px" height="16px" viewBox="0 0 16 16" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" class="calendar-icon"> <style>.b{fill:#02303A;}</style> <title>Calendar</title> <defs> <path d="M0,13.8172697 L0,1.20148026 C0,0.548613158 0.504,0.01875 1.125,0.01875 L13.875,0.01875 C14.496,0.01875 15,0.548613158 15,1.20148026 L15,13.8172697 C15,14.4701368 14.496,15 13.875,15 L1.125,15 C0.504,15 0,14.4701368 0,13.8172697 L0,13.8172697 Z" id="path-cal"></path> <mask id="mask-cal" maskContentUnits="userSpaceOnUse" maskUnits="objectBoundingBox" x="0" y="0" width="15" height="14.98125" fill="white"> <use xlink:href="#path-cal"></use> </mask> </defs> <g stroke="none" stroke-width="1" fill="none" fill-rule="evenodd"> <g> <rect class="b" x="0" y="4" width="15" height="1"></rect> <use stroke="#02303A" mask="url(#mask-cal)" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xlink:href="#path-cal"></use> <rect class="b" x="2" y="12" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="2" y="10" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="2" y="8" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="4" y="12" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="4" y="10" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="4" y="8" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="6" y="12" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="6" y="10" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="6" y="8" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="6" y="6" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="8" y="12" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="8" y="10" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="8" y="8" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="8" y="6" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="10" y="10" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="10" y="8" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="10" y="6" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="12" y="10" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="12" y="8" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="12" y="6" width="1" height="1"></rect> </g> </g> </svg> <time datetime="2023-06-28T00:00:00-04:00">June 28, 2023</time> </div> <div class="post-author"> <img class="post-meta-icon" src="https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/5387972?v=3&s=36" width="18" height="18"> <a href="https://github.com/big-guy">Sterling Greene</a> </div> <div class="post-category"> <svg width="16px" height="16px" viewBox="0 0 16 12" class="category-general-icon" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <g stroke="none" stroke-width="1" fill="none" fill-rule="evenodd" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round"> <g stroke="#02303A"> <polygon id="Stroke-3370" points="5 2.5 0.5 2.5 0.5 13.5 15.5 13.5 15.5 4.5 7 4.5"></polygon> </g> </g> </svg> <a style="margin-left: 4px;" href="https://blog.gradle.org/category/general">General</a> </div> </div> <table> <thead> <tr> <th>ℹ️ Update on July 15, 2024</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>See <a href="/portal-jcenter-impact">our recent blog post</a> for up-to-date information about the Plugin Portal and JCenter.</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>On June 23rd, 2023, at 9:00 UTC, Gradle users started experiencing issues resolving artifacts from the <a href="https://plugins.gradle.org">Gradle Plugin Portal</a> because of changes to artifacts hosted on JCenter by JFrog. JCenter stopped serving files directly and redirected all requests to Maven Central.

Since then, it’s been growing in popularity and has greatly improved the authoring experience of many Gradle builds.</p> <p>Kotlin DSL is now the default choice for new Gradle builds. This means that when creating a new project with Gradle, including in IntelliJ IDEA (starting with 2023.1) and Android Studio (starting with Giraffe), Kotlin DSL is the default option. Support for Groovy DSL will continue for existing projects or those who prefer to use it.</p> <p>In this post, we will explore the benefits of Kotlin DSL and why it is becoming the recommended option for new Gradle... <p><a href="https://blog.gradle.org/kotlin-dsl-is-now-the-default-for-new-gradle-builds">❯ Read more</a></p> </article> <article class="post"> <h1 class="post-title"> <a href="https://blog.gradle.org/how-gradle-works-3">How Gradle Works Part 3 - Build Script</a> </h1> <div class="post-meta"> <div class="post-date"> <svg width="16px" height="16px" viewBox="0 0 16 16" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" class="calendar-icon"> <style>.b{fill:#02303A;}</style> <title>Calendar</title> <defs> <path d="M0,13.8172697 L0,1.20148026 C0,0.548613158 0.504,0.01875 1.125,0.01875 L13.875,0.01875 C14.496,0.01875 15,0.548613158 15,1.20148026 L15,13.8172697 C15,14.4701368 14.496,15 13.875,15 L1.125,15 C0.504,15 0,14.4701368 0,13.8172697 L0,13.8172697 Z" id="path-cal"></path> <mask id="mask-cal" maskContentUnits="userSpaceOnUse" maskUnits="objectBoundingBox" x="0" y="0" width="15" height="14.98125" fill="white"> <use xlink:href="#path-cal"></use> </mask> </defs> <g stroke="none" stroke-width="1" fill="none" fill-rule="evenodd"> <g> <rect class="b" x="0" y="4" width="15" height="1"></rect> <use stroke="#02303A" mask="url(#mask-cal)" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xlink:href="#path-cal"></use> <rect class="b" x="2" y="12" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="2" y="10" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="2" y="8" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="4" y="12" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="4" y="10" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="4" y="8" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="6" y="12" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="6" y="10" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="6" y="8" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="6" y="6" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="8" y="12" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="8" y="10" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="8" y="8" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="8" y="6" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="10" y="10" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="10" y="8" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="10" y="6" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="12" y="10" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="12" y="8" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="12" y="6" width="1" height="1"></rect> </g> </g> </svg> <time datetime="2023-03-09T21:00:00-05:00">March 9, 2023</time> </div> <div class="post-author"> <img class="post-meta-icon" src="https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/12689835?v=3&s=36" width="18" height="18"> <a href="https://github.com/blindpirate">Bo Zhang</a> </div> <div class="post-category"> <svg width="16px" height="16px" viewBox="0 0 16 12" class="category-general-icon" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <g stroke="none" stroke-width="1" fill="none" fill-rule="evenodd" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round"> <g stroke="#02303A"> <polygon id="Stroke-3370" points="5 2.5 0.5 2.5 0.5 13.5 15.5 13.5 15.5 4.5 7 4.5"></polygon> </g> </g> </svg> <a style="margin-left: 4px;" href="https://blog.gradle.org/category/general">General</a> </div> </div> <p>Previously on <em>How Gradle Works</em>:</p> <ol> <li><a href="./how-gradle-works-1">How Gradle Part 1 - Startup</a></li> <li><a href="./how-gradle-works-2">How Gradle Part 2 - Inside The Daemon</a></li> </ol> <p>This is the third blog of the series <em>How Gradle Works</em>.

Most of their builds took only a few minutes to run, but sometimes they took up to 30 minutes! In these cases, invariably, a build scan showed that some combination of Java compilation, Kotlin compilation, or annotation processing with Kapt, was the culprit. The team had no real idea of how often this problem occurred for developers, and under what conditions.</p> <p>Gradle Enterprise does not, yet, provide a way to find builds based on how long a particular task took. However, custom <strong>tags</strong> make it easy to categorize and find builds for any condition that can be detected within a build.

It handles sample discovery, normalization (semantically equivalent results, perhaps from different environments), and flexible output verification. It invokes any command-line tool in the environment to be invoked. You can also invoke <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">curl</code>, for example, to verify service API responses.</p> <p>Gradle uses this library to verify examples in docs and guides, and remove boilerplate from integration tests.</p> <p>Exemplar can be configured using a JUnit test runner (recommended) or using its APIs.

If everything stays the same, Gradle will skip the test run, saving you a lot of time.</p> <p>So you can imagine my desperation when I see snippets like this on StackOverflow:</p> <div class="language-groovy highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="n">tasks</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="na">withType</span><span class="o">(</span><span class="n">Test</span><span class="o">)</span> <span class="o">{</span> <span class="n">outputs</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="na">upToDateWhen</span> <span class="o">{</span> <span class="kc">false</span> <span class="o">}</span> <span class="o">}</span> </code></pre></div></div> <p>Let’s talk about what this means and why it is a bad... <p><a href="https://blog.gradle.org/stop-rerunning-tests">❯ Read more</a></p> </article> <article class="post"> <h1 class="post-title"> <a href="https://blog.gradle.org/unable-to-download-maven-central-bintray">Fixing Gradle dependency resolution when TLS v1.1 and v1.0 support is discontinued</a> </h1> <div class="post-meta"> <div class="post-date"> <svg width="16px" height="16px" viewBox="0 0 16 16" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" class="calendar-icon"> <style>.b{fill:#02303A;}</style> <title>Calendar</title> <defs> <path d="M0,13.8172697 L0,1.20148026 C0,0.548613158 0.504,0.01875 1.125,0.01875 L13.875,0.01875 C14.496,0.01875 15,0.548613158 15,1.20148026 L15,13.8172697 C15,14.4701368 14.496,15 13.875,15 L1.125,15 C0.504,15 0,14.4701368 0,13.8172697 L0,13.8172697 Z" id="path-cal"></path> <mask id="mask-cal" maskContentUnits="userSpaceOnUse" maskUnits="objectBoundingBox" x="0" y="0" width="15" height="14.98125" fill="white"> <use xlink:href="#path-cal"></use> </mask> </defs> <g stroke="none" stroke-width="1" fill="none" fill-rule="evenodd"> <g> <rect class="b" x="0" y="4" width="15" height="1"></rect> <use stroke="#02303A" mask="url(#mask-cal)" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xlink:href="#path-cal"></use> <rect class="b" x="2" y="12" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="2" y="10" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="2" y="8" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="4" y="12" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="4" y="10" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="4" y="8" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="6" y="12" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="6" y="10" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="6" y="8" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="6" y="6" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="8" y="12" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="8" y="10" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="8" y="8" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="8" y="6" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="10" y="10" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="10" y="8" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="10" y="6" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="12" y="10" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="12" y="8" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="12" y="6" width="1" height="1"></rect> </g> </g> </svg> <time datetime="2018-06-21T00:00:00-04:00">June 21, 2018</time> </div> <div class="post-author"> <img class="post-meta-icon" src="https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/51534?v=3&s=36" width="18" height="18"> <a href="https://github.com/eriwen">Eric Wendelin</a> </div> <div class="post-category"> <svg width="16px" height="16px" viewBox="0 0 16 12" class="category-general-icon" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <g stroke="none" stroke-width="1" fill="none" fill-rule="evenodd" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round"> <g stroke="#02303A"> <polygon id="Stroke-3370" points="5 2.5 0.5 2.5 0.5 13.5 15.5 13.5 15.5 4.5 7 4.5"></polygon> </g> </g> </svg> <a style="margin-left: 4px;" href="https://blog.gradle.org/category/general">General</a> </div> </div> <p>Maven Central and Bintray have announced that they will discontinue support for TLS v1.1 and below.

For us at Gradle, it’s probably one of the most controversial additions to the platform. TL/DR, we think it’s a wrong answer to a real problem. This post will explain why we think so, but also explain how you can build such jars if you really want to.</p> <p><a href="http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/238">Multi-release JARs</a>, aka MRJARs, are a new feature of the Java platform, included in the Java 9 JDK. In this post, we will elaborate on the significant risks of adopting this technology and provide how one can produce and consume multi-release JARs with Gradle, if desired.</p> <p>In a nutshell, multi-release jars allow you to package several versions of the same class, for consumption by different runtimes. For example, if you run on JDK 8, the Java runtime would use the Java 8 version of the class, but if you run on Java 9, it would use the Java 9 specific implementation. Similarly, if a version is built for the upcoming Java 10 release, then the runtime would use it instead of the Java 9 and default (Java 8) versions.</p> <p><a href="https://blog.gradle.org/mrjars">❯ Read more</a></p> </article> <article class="post"> <h1 class="post-title"> <a href="https://blog.gradle.org/java-9-support-update">State of Gradle Java 9 Support</a> </h1> <div class="post-meta"> <div class="post-date"> <svg width="16px" height="16px" viewBox="0 0 16 16" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" class="calendar-icon"> <style>.b{fill:#02303A;}</style> <title>Calendar</title> <defs> <path d="M0,13.8172697 L0,1.20148026 C0,0.548613158 0.504,0.01875 1.125,0.01875 L13.875,0.01875 C14.496,0.01875 15,0.548613158 15,1.20148026 L15,13.8172697 C15,14.4701368 14.496,15 13.875,15 L1.125,15 C0.504,15 0,14.4701368 0,13.8172697 L0,13.8172697 Z" id="path-cal"></path> <mask id="mask-cal" maskContentUnits="userSpaceOnUse" maskUnits="objectBoundingBox" x="0" y="0" width="15" height="14.98125" fill="white"> <use xlink:href="#path-cal"></use> </mask> </defs> <g stroke="none" stroke-width="1" fill="none" fill-rule="evenodd"> <g> <rect class="b" x="0" y="4" width="15" height="1"></rect> <use stroke="#02303A" mask="url(#mask-cal)" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xlink:href="#path-cal"></use> <rect class="b" x="2" y="12" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="2" y="10" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="2" y="8" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="4" y="12" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="4" y="10" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="4" y="8" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="6" y="12" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="6" y="10" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="6" y="8" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="6" y="6" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="8" y="12" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="8" y="10" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="8" y="8" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="8" y="6" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="10" y="10" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="10" y="8" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="10" y="6" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="12" y="10" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="12" y="8" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="12" y="6" width="1" height="1"></rect> </g> </g> </svg> <time datetime="2017-10-17T00:00:00-04:00">October 17, 2017</time> </div> <div class="post-author"> <img class="post-meta-icon" src="https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/51534?v=3&s=36" width="18" height="18"> <a href="https://github.com/eriwen">Eric Wendelin</a> </div> <div class="post-category"> <svg width="16px" height="16px" viewBox="0 0 16 12" class="category-general-icon" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <g stroke="none" stroke-width="1" fill="none" fill-rule="evenodd" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round"> <g stroke="#02303A"> <polygon id="Stroke-3370" points="5 2.5 0.5 2.5 0.5 13.5 15.5 13.5 15.5 4.5 7 4.5"></polygon> </g> </g> </svg> <a style="margin-left: 4px;" href="https://blog.gradle.org/category/general">General</a> </div> </div> <p>This post provides an overview of Gradle’s Java 9 support, touching on runtime, cross-compilation, MRJARs, and Jigsaw modules support.

Further, cross-compilation (built by JDK9 but runs on JDK8) is supported.</p> <p>Some builds will break when upgrading to Java 9, regardless of build tool used. The Java team have made good and necessary changes to the JDK to facilitate better software architecture and security, but this has meant removing access to some APIs. Even if your project is ready, some tools and Gradle plugins have not yet been updated to work with Java 9.</p> <p>There is no convenience methods for consuming and assembling Multi-Release JARs, but you can take a look at this <a href="https://github.com/melix/mrjar-gradle">MRJAR-gradle example</a> if you desire to use them.</p> <p><a href="https://blog.gradle.org/java-9-support-update">❯ Read more</a></p> </article> <article class="post"> <h1 class="post-title"> <a href="https://blog.gradle.org/kotlin-scripting-update">The Road to Gradle Script Kotlin 1.0</a> </h1> <div class="post-meta"> <div class="post-date"> <svg width="16px" height="16px" viewBox="0 0 16 16" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" class="calendar-icon"> <style>.b{fill:#02303A;}</style> <title>Calendar</title> <defs> <path d="M0,13.8172697 L0,1.20148026 C0,0.548613158 0.504,0.01875 1.125,0.01875 L13.875,0.01875 C14.496,0.01875 15,0.548613158 15,1.20148026 L15,13.8172697 C15,14.4701368 14.496,15 13.875,15 L1.125,15 C0.504,15 0,14.4701368 0,13.8172697 L0,13.8172697 Z" id="path-cal"></path> <mask id="mask-cal" maskContentUnits="userSpaceOnUse" maskUnits="objectBoundingBox" x="0" y="0" width="15" height="14.98125" fill="white"> <use xlink:href="#path-cal"></use> </mask> </defs> <g stroke="none" stroke-width="1" fill="none" fill-rule="evenodd"> <g> <rect class="b" x="0" y="4" width="15" height="1"></rect> <use stroke="#02303A" mask="url(#mask-cal)" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xlink:href="#path-cal"></use> <rect class="b" x="2" y="12" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="2" y="10" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="2" y="8" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="4" y="12" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="4" y="10" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="4" y="8" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="6" y="12" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="6" y="10" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="6" y="8" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="6" y="6" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="8" y="12" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="8" y="10" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="8" y="8" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="8" y="6" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="10" y="10" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="10" y="8" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="10" y="6" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="12" y="10" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="12" y="8" width="1" height="1"></rect> <rect class="b" x="12" y="6" width="1" height="1"></rect> </g> </g> </svg> <time datetime="2016-10-26T00:00:00-04:00">October 26, 2016</time> </div> <div class="post-author"> <img class="post-meta-icon" src="https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/51689?v=3&s=36" width="18" height="18"> <a href="https://github.com/bamboo">Rodrigo B. de Oliveira</a> </div> <div class="post-category"> <svg width="16px" height="16px" viewBox="0 0 16 12" class="category-general-icon" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <g stroke="none" stroke-width="1" fill="none" fill-rule="evenodd" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round"> <g stroke="#02303A"> <polygon id="Stroke-3370" points="5 2.5 0.5 2.5 0.5 13.5 15.5 13.5 15.5 4.5 7 4.5"></polygon> </g> </g> </svg> <a style="margin-left: 4px;" href="https://blog.gradle.org/category/general">General</a> </div> </div> <p>Five months ago we <a href="/kotlin-meets-gradle">announced the first pre-release of Gradle Script Kotlin</a>, and we thought now would be a good time to review the progress we’ve made since.

On behalf of the whole team, it’s my pleasure to write this first post and share a bit about what we’re up to.</p> <p>Mainly, we’re putting together this new blog because we want to make sure users find out about the most important developments in Gradle-land. Our team has grown rapidly over the last couple years, and as a result we’ve shipped many new features and improvements. All too often, though, we find that would-be users never hear about them. This recent tweet provides a perfect example:</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">I read news, I try to keep up-to-date. So how did I miss that <a href="https://twitter.com/gradle">@gradle</a> can build <a href="https://twitter.com/playframework">@playframework</a>?
