CLI options

Modify JVM options

Use Gradle Properties. e.g.

org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx1024m -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=256m -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

Global configurations

Set org.gradle.parallel property on gradle.properties file.

Dependencies

Platforms

Platforms are used to ensure that all dependencies in a project align with a consistent set of versions.

BOMs can be imported by platforms.

Debug

Gradle provides the built-in dependencyInsight task to render a dependency insight report from the command line. Dependency insights provide information about a single dependency within a single configuration. Given a dependency, you can identify the selection reason and origin.

Features

Using Plugins

Plugins DSL is newer and convenient way to declare plugin dependencies. It looks up Gradle plugin portal for core and community plugins. If plugins DSL cannot be used due to the restrictions, you need to use Legacy Plugin Application.

Initialization Scripts

It should be added by type. e.g.

import bloop.integrations.gradle.BloopPlugin

initscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }

    dependencies { classpath("ch.epfl.scala:gradle-bloop_2.12:1.6.0") }
}

allprojects {
    apply<BloopPlugin>()
}

Use .init.gradle.kts extension for init scripts
