About the Book

A key consideration when writing a plugin is aesthetics and readability. The DSL must read like a description,not appear to be someone writing a Groovy program. This leads to easier adoption of both the plugin and Gradle in general as a build tool. This form of expressiveness sometimes referred to a being `gradlesque`, is key to producing a good plugin. All of the idioms in this book are presented in Groovy. Although it is possible to write plugins in other JVM languages, Groovy providesthe easiest and most readable medium for implementing plugins. This book also assumes a minimum Gradle version of 2.0 and that the reader can program in Groovy. All examples in the book have been tested with all major Gradle releases from 2.0 through to the latest 4.x release.
