Chapter 4. Using Gradle for Java Projects

We have seen how to write tasks in a Gradle build and how to execute them, but we haven't seen how to perform real-life tasks, such as compiling source code or testing with Gradle.

In this chapter, we will discuss how to use the Gradle Java plugin to get tasks for compiling and packaging a Java project. We will also see how Gradle's build-by-convention features make it very easy to start and work with a source code.
