Summary

So, now we have discussed how to install Gradle on our computers. We have written our first Gradle build script with a simple task.

We have also seen how we use the built-in tasks of Gradle to get more information about a project. We discussed how to use the command-line options to help us run the build scripts. We have looked at the Gradle GUI and how we can use it to run Gradle build scripts.

In the next chapter, we will take a further look at tasks. We will discuss how to add actions to a task. We write more complex tasks, where the tasks will depend on other tasks. We will also discuss how Gradle builds up a task graph internally and how to use this in our projects.
