5/5

What do you like best about Gradle Build Tool?

This product is the best i have encountered till now. Gradle integrates with everything that I use. One of the best things about it that it is tightly integrated with the command line. It provides easy access to run or debug one or more task from console and also streamlines the output also. Gradle automatically detects changes in Gradle files and updates the project structure accordingly. The dependency analyser is also a plus one for it as lists resolved dependencies, shows conflicts and allows dependencies to be upgrade when newer versions are available.

What do you dislike about Gradle Build Tool?

Apart from all the features it provides, it really gets slow when you try to build large projects. I don't know about the new version but the performance speed could be improved. I heard that it is improved in the recent version. One more issue I faced with Gradle is lack of native support for reusing ivy.xml (and ivysettings.xml), despite the fact that Gradle actually uses Ivy as its dependency engine.

What problems is Gradle Build Tool solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am using gradle for build automation. This way, it helps in increment builds of my software. There are different alternates but I found gradle much more stable and more popular for build automation. With few tweaks , it is the product that you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
