What's new in Gradle 4.0
- 1. What's new in Gradle 4.0 Eric Wendelin — JavaOne 2017
- 4. From mobile apps to microservices, from small startups to big enterprises, Gradle helps teams build, automate and deliver beGer soHware, faster. Automate Everything Integrates with other tools like Docker for development or opera7ons. Integrates with and delegates to NPM, MSBuild, Ant, and other tools. Build Anything Support for Java, C/C++, Python, JavaScript, Go, and other languages. Go monorepo, mul7-repo, or anywhere in-between. Trusted by Millions Official build tool for Android 4M+ downloads per month #17 on BaOery OSS Index Gradle Overview
- 5. Languages built by Gradle 4% 7% 13% 21% 55% GITHUB PUBLIC SOURCE BYTES Java C JS/CSS/HTML C++ Groovy/Kotlin/Other #BigQuery hOps://git.io/vQfUx
- 6. Gradle Build Anatomy 3-phase build: IniKalizaKon → evaluate seNngs ConfiguraKon → build task graph ExecuKon → execute task graph Evaluate Gradle scripts Execute tasksBuild DAG
- 7. Incremental Builds TaskInputs Outputs UP-TO-DATE EXECUTE same contents ? same contents ?
- 8. Gradle 3.0 => Sep 19, 2016 Gradle 4.0 => Jun 14, 2017 Gradle 4.2.1 => Current Version Brief Gradle Version History

- 12. • Analyze class dependencies to opKmize which classes are recompiled • Fast in-memory cache of class ABIs inside daemon Incremental Compila7on for Java

- 15. Recommended JavaOne Talk: Maximizing Incrementality with Gradle - Cedric Champeau at 12:15pm tomorrow [CON2992] Incremental Compila7on
- 17. Gradle recognizes ABI breaking changes, and will trigger recompilaKon only when ABI is changed. Compile Avoidance
- 18. Compile Avoidance Example Does MyApp need to be recompiled? No!
- 22. buildCache { local { enabled = !isCI } remote(HttpBuildCache) { url = "https://my.ge.server/cache/" push = isCI } } CI Remote Cache Local Cache Developer Build Cache
- 23. As of Gradle 4.2, Java and Scala toolchains are cacheable by default. We're working on leveraging this for all sensible tasks.
- 25. Self-hosted Build Scans Collect build history across all Gradle builds. Export build data; perform trend analysis and data-driven engineering effec7veness. gradle.com/build-scans Enterprise Build Cache Easy installa7on and maintenance tools for the Gradle Build Cache. Enjoy much faster builds by reusing task outputs across machines. gradle.com/build-cache Support and ConsulQng Get help migra7ng or upgrading Gradle.

- 29. Worker API Without Worker API Using Worker API
- 32. • Faster configuraKon • Faster gradle tasks • Faster archive processing • Faster daemon communicaKon • lots more... Performance Improvements
- 33. Gradle 4.2 is 2-100x faster than Gradle 3.0 when using all of the new performance features — upgrade! Summary

- 35. Java Library Plugin New Tools
- 36. compile: dependencies needed to compile runtime: dependencies needed to run project Java Library Plugin Not sufficient!
- 37. There are at least 2 kinds of Java projects: applicaQons (standalone, no API) libraries (exposes an API) Java Library Plugin
- 38. // For Java Libraries that expose an API - apply plugin: "java" + apply plugin: "java-library" dependencies { - compile "org.apache.commons:commons-math3:3.6.1" - compile "com.google.guava:21.0" + api "org.apache.commons:commons-math3:3.6.1" + implementation "com.google.guava:21.0" }

- 41. Gradle 4.2.1 provides runKme support for Java 9 applicaKons and libraries. It does not have first-class support for Java 9 modules yet. Java 9 Support
- 42. 1. Add module-info.java 2. Modify JavaCompile tasks to produce modules 3. Modify compile test tasks to patch modules 4. Modify Test tasks to consume patched modules Adop7ng Java 9 modules using Gradle
- 43. Using Java 9 modules with Gradle ext.moduleName = "org.gradle.actors" compileJava { inputs.property("moduleName", moduleName) doFirst { options.compilerArgs = ["--module-path", classpath.asPath] classpath = project.files() } }
- 44. Java 9 Support plugins { id "org.gradle.java.experimental-jigsaw" version "0.1.1" } DO NOT USE THIS PLUGIN IN PRODUCTION!
