Improve Java build performance with Gradle 5
summary
Shows concrete fixes that cut Java build time: uses Gradle Profiler and build scans to measure configuration vs execution, finds expensive per-project configuration that costs seconds per subproject, and applies compile avoidance plus a distributed build cache to get orders-of-magnitude speedups on multi-project builds. Demonstrates profiling that locates memory leaks and slow plugins, removes unnecessary input properties, and verifies reductions with repeatable benchmarks (local and remote cache), including examples of projects dropping configuration time from many seconds to near instant.
