"Best tool for building Java projects"

5/5

What do you like best about Gradle Build Tool?

Its the de-facto build system for Android. We use it everyday and its very useful since it can be installed on machine without Android studio and still compile apps.

There are a lot of plugins available which is the real stregth and it integrates with Maven too which makes it a better choice than Maven. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gradle Build Tool?

It can get slow for large builds. As the size of the Android app grows, it tends to become slow. The main reason is that it uses Groovy instead of XML which makes it slow but leads to short scripts which is helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use Gradle as de-facto build tool for our Android app which is quite large. It integrates seamlessly with Eclipse and Android Studio. It integrates well with Jenkins and therefore, we use it for continous delivery which is the main benefit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
