🏕️ Project Template

This repo contains a Gradle project structure with:

• Centralized and maintainable build configuration and custom build logic
• No dependency hell through smart dependency management with dependency rules and analysis

The starter project contains everything for a traditional JVM project. The structure though, is good for any kind of project you may build with Gradle (Kotlin, Groovy, Scala, ...).

🧱 Project Overview

You can find a detailed explanation of the project structure in Gradle Basics.

Build Lifecycle

Configuration Cache

The Configuration Cache improves build performance by caching the result of the configuration phase and reusing it for subsequent builds.

Dependency Scopes

Mapping between Java module directives and Gradle configurations to declare dependencies: declaring_module_dependencies

🍰 Project Usage

you can run ./gradlew help to get gradle commands-line usage help.

you can run git update-index --chmod=+x gradlew to make gradlew executable.

git update-index --chmod=+x gradlew
