gradle

Gradle is an open-source build tool for automating software development tasks. It is designed for projects that need a flexible way to manage activities across the development lifecycle. These activities can include compiling code, testing it, packaging software, publishing outputs, and deploying them.

The tool supports multi-language development and can be used with Java, Scala, Android, C++, and Groovy projects. Its build model is intended to accommodate different project structures and development needs. Gradle can also be used when the work includes publishing websites or other software-related outputs.

Gradle fits the developer-tools category because it helps organize and automate the processes used to produce software. It is available here for Linux users, making it relevant to development environments based on that platform. The tool is also integrated with development tools and continuous integration servers such as Eclipse, IntelliJ, and Jenkins.

MirrorNest mirrors the official Gradle build directly on its own storage for download. The mirrored build is scanned for malware before it is published. This gives Linux users a catalog-based way to obtain the open-source developer tool while keeping the distribution tied to the official build.
