Let's talk about the basics of the Task concept in Gradle.
The Gradle project in this folder is an updated version from the previous video.
This sample is best explored in IntelliJ IDEA.
Open 04_Tasks/my-project in IDEA and confirm with Trust Project.
Each video only scratches the surfaces of the features shown. This is on purpose to give you a general understanding of how things work in Gradle. This understanding enables you to structure your project in a readable and maintainable way.
More details on each feature covered in this video can be found in the Gradle User Manual. The Manual, however, is very detailed on all kinds of topics and also contains information on legacy features (it's not always clear which these are).
To help you find the right places, here are some deep links into the Manual on the topics discussed in the video:
- Executing Tasks in Multi-Project Builds
- Lifecycle Tasks
- Task Outcomes (UP-TO-DATE, FROM-CACHE, ...)
- Tasks added by the Base Plugin
- Tasks added by the Java Plugin
- Enabling the Build Cache
- Remote Build Cache setup
