Is this course for you?

Are you an experienced Java, Android developer or someone that is using Gradle to automate builds for applications in private time, at faculty or in your job? Is your Gradle logic in the build script getting complex? Do you need to share your build logic between multiple standalone projects within your team or would you like to make it public for the whole world? Would you like to understand how Gradle plugins work under the hood? Then this course is exactly for you. It’s time to roll up your sleeves and get busy!

Content

You will find all the information you need to successfully create your first Gradle plugin or improve your existing Gradle plugins and understand every bit of the logic along the way. You’ll experience Gradle 8.x and Java 17 in action.

You will learn, how to create:

Script Plugin

It’s the easiest and most straight forward way to create useful Gradle plugin in no time.

Precompiled Script Plugin

If you want to bring plugin implementation to advanced level you should get familiar with precompiled plugins. It brings the possibility to structure the plugin, easily test and debug it.

Binary Plugin

Write and package your plugin like ordinary application with the Gradle API. I will use Java language to write components of the plugin like the implementation of the Plugin interface that has to implement apply() method.

Publishing

Publish your binary plugin to

Local Maven repo (testing)

Private Maven Repo(enterprises, can’t share)

Gradle Plugin Portal(sharing is caring)

Extensions

Making binary Gradle plugins flexible through the extension block configuration in a DSL fashion.

Testing

If you are serious about your plugin then covering its logic with tests that will verify your requirements and protect you from regressions is the way to go. In the testing section you will see how you can test internal parts with JUnit5 and wrap it up with functional tests written with the help of TestKit GradleRunner class.

Structure

Every topic will be explained through theory first. After going through presentations you will be challenged to apply acquired knowledge in extensive quizzes.

The goal of the course is to give you the most in depth information about Gradle plugins in one place you can find online.
