  • Gradle's leaky abstractions: Declarative(ish) shell, imperative core: Implementing a safe(ish) global configuration DSL
    2 projects | dev.to | 24 Mar 2024
    A ("shared") build service is kind of like a singleton, in that when you register one in any project, it's available in all projects as a single instance. (This unfortunately turns out not to be true, in some cases, when using composite builds, but can be worked around.) An actual singleton (global static instance) doesn't work at all, for the record—try it if you want to lose some sanity. Anyway, use a build service whenever you need global mutable state in your build.

  • Intro to Java Question
    3 projects | /r/javahelp | 4 Dec 2023
    For large projects, purpose-made build tools such as Gradle and Maven are preferred for managing the directory structure since they introduce additional semantics for managing test code and other programming languages (among lots of other things). Most IDEs can integrate with these build tools easily. If you're just starting out though, I wouldn't worry too much about these, you can visit them later.

    Except that they're not, all the potential, maybe relevant parameters available to the entire project are. Go inside the base {} task is build.gradle.kts, press ctrl+space ... yay hundreds of potential things that could or could not be appropriate, Go inside the java {} task, same thing, anywhere really. Without opening the documentation on gradle.org, there's no way to know what is actually relevant. It doesn't stop there, some of these things only work in setup time, others only work during task execution time, on to the docs to find which ones are which, but the docs are not completely in that regard, on and on it goes.
