1. Introduction to Maven and Gradle: Overview of Build


Automation Tools, Key Differences Between Maven and
Gradle, Installation and Setup.
What is Build Automation Tools?
• A build automation tool is a software tool that automates the process of
building software . It allows users to sequence tasks in a non-interactive way.
• Build automation tools help developers streamline the process of building,
testing, and deploying software projects. They take care of repetitive tasks like
compiling code, managing dependencies, and packaging applications, which
makes development more efficient and error-free.
• Three popular tools in the Java ecosystem are Maven ,Gradle and Jenkins.
These are great for managing project builds and dependencies, but they have
some key differences.
What is MAVEN?

• Maven is a widely used build automation tool for Java-based projects. It


follows the convention-over-configuration paradigm, meaning it provides
predefined project structures and build lifecycles, reducing the need for
extensive manual configuration.
• It uses an XML configuration file called pom.xml (Project Object Model)
to define project settings, dependencies, and build steps.
Features of Maven
• Predefined project structure and lifecycle phases.
• Automatic dependency management through Maven Central.
• Wide range of plugins for things like testing and deployment.
• Supports complex projects with multiple modules.
• XML-Based Configuration: Uses a pom.xml file to define dependencies, plugins, and project metadata.
• Dependency Management: Automatically downloads and manages dependencies from repositories such as
Maven Central.
• Lifecycle Management: Offers predefined phases like compile, test, package, and deploy.
• Plugin Support: Provides a wide range of plugins to extend functionality.
• Wide IDE and CI/CD Support: Integrates seamlessly with popular IDEs and CI/CD tools
What is Gradle?

• Gradle is a modern and flexible build automation tool that enhances


Maven’s capabilities by using a more expressive and efficient
configuration language that supports multiple programming languages,
including Java, Groovy, and Kotlin. It uses a domain-specific language
(DSL) for build scripts, written in Groovy or Kotlin.
Features of Gradle
• Faster builds thanks to task caching and incremental builds.
• Flexible and customizable build scripts.
• Works with Maven repositories for dependency management.
• Excellent support for multi-module and cross-language projects.
• Integrates easily with CI/CD pipelines.
• Script-Based Configuration: Uses Groovy or Kotlin scripts instead of XML for build scripts.
• Incremental Builds: Executes only necessary tasks to improve build speed.
• Superior Performance: Utilizes a directed acyclic graph (DAG) for optimized task execution,
enabling parallel execution and caching.
• Rich Plugin Ecosystem: Supports a variety of plugins and custom task configurations.
• Multi-Language Support: Compatible with Java, Kotlin, C++, and other programming
languages.
