Overview
Gradle is a general-purpose build tool. It is primarily used to build Java and Groovy, but it can build other languages as well. The goal of a Gradle execution, also known as a Gradle build, is to execute a set of tasks, in sequence. Each build runs according to a well defined build lifecycle, during which Gradle instantiates a complex domain model of the project in memory: a Gradle instance, a Settings instance and the project itself.
Build Lifecycle
A build is a Gradle execution. Each build instantiates at least one project, which in turn contains tasks, and it can be configured and controlled with properties.
Initialization phase. Extra properties for Gradle and Settings object instances can be declared at this phase.
Configuration phase. Tasks are instantiated and configured.
Execution phase. Task actions are executed.
