How do you cope with the monstrosity that is Gradle?

• rules_kotlin

  6 325 8.6 Kotlin

  Bazel rules for Kotlin

  

Personally I've found the complexity of Gradle not outweighed by its benefits so have migrated to Bazel instead with https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_kotlin.

• gradle-jooq-plugin

  3 500 7.9 Groovy

  Gradle plugin that integrates jOOQ.

I've used gradle recently and I still find it a mess. Especially with differences between kotlin and groovy DSLs. For example, I recently tried to use jooq with kotlin dsl. Look at this plugin, go to the section where it shows the differences between kotlin and groovy: https://github.com/etiennestuder/gradle-jooq-plugin

• shadow

  15 3,553 0.0 Groovy

  Gradle plugin to create fat/uber JARs, apply file transforms, and relocate packages for applications and libraries. Gradle version of Maven's Shade plugin.

I've writen many Kotlin+Gradle projects that produce jars without the shadow plugin. They're not fat, shaded, standalone executable jars though - is that what you need?
