Gradle has fast become one of the de-facto build tool in the Java ecosystem. You might have used Gradle to build your project without realizing how much more Gradle has to offer. Up-to-date checking, automatic clean, file operations such as copy, move and zip and so much more are just some of the features that Gradle offers right out of the box.
In this session we will explore some of these features and how we can use them within our own builds.
