Keeping growing software projects under control with Gradle
summary
A working demo project shows a multi-component codebase with separate Java libraries, an application and a feature plugin, plus a small custom Gradle plugin that exposes a component-oriented DSL and tasks. The build uses Gradle's build cache and incremental builds, configures composite builds and dependency isolation, and publishes artifacts via publishing to Maven. The demo proves components build independently, custom task inputs/outputs enable cache hits, and the java compilation and publish pipeline run reproducibly and faster.
