Gradle Quick Start for Debian Stretch 9 Linux

Hi! The Tutorial shows you Step-by-Step How to Install and Getting-Started with Gradle Enterprise Automation Tools on Debian Stretch 9 GNU/Linux Desktop/Server.

Gradle is the next evolutionary step in JVM-based Build Tools. It draws on lessons learned from established tools like Ant and Maven and takes their best ideas to the next level.

Following a build-by-convention approach, Gradle allows for declaratively modeling your problem domain using a powerful and expressive domain-specific language (DSL) implemented in Groovy instead of XML.

Gradle Evolved Automation Features:

  • Strong yet flexible conventions
  • Enterprise level control capabilities
  • Manageable and understandable builds
