Build Pain Points...

• Has anyone seen?

– Large monolithic balls of mud

– Complex usage, assumptions, conventions

– Impossible to bend in desired ways

– Never been (can't be) refactored/tested

– Many manual steps

– Environment fragile

• different machines, CI vs IDE, dev vs prod vs test

...Build Pain Points...

• Require powerful features– Dependency management

– Version management

– Polyglot compilation

– Artifact production and manipulation (jar, war, ...)

– Templating (generation of boilerplate text files)

– Multifacted testing

– Reporting

– Quality control (Metrics, code quality, static analysis)

– Property management

– Infinitely(?) extensible

...Build Pain Points

• Useful characteristics– Tool friendly

– Cross platform

– IDE support, CI support

– Refactorable

– Testable

– Minimal noise (DSL like)

– Easy to extend

– Conventions

– Good documentation

– Polyglot friendly

Build Tools

• Non-exhaustive list– Ant, Maven, EasyAnt

– Gant, GMaven, Gradle, Graven (uptake?),

Groovy Frontend for Ant (emerge from sandbox?)

– Rake, Raven, Buildr

– Make, SCons, Waf

– MSBuild, Nant

• Used by– Developers: NetBeans, Eclipse, Intellij, Command-line

– CI: Hudson (Groovy support and console), Team City,

CruiseControl, AnthillPro (Groovy support), Bamboo

– Deployment Management: Tableaux (Groovy support)

– Ad-hoc: batch processing, production applications

Pros/Cons of Traditional Tools• Ant

– Flexible (supports any

convention)

– Easy to extend

– Wealth of useful tasks

– Well documented

– Partially declarative but

some scope for

procedural instructions

• XML != prog. language

– Lifecycle is hand-crafted

in your build file

– Can use Ivy or Maven Ant

tasks for dependency

management

• Maven

– Opinionated about

conventions

• Mostly a good thing

– Mostly declarative

• XML != concise DSL

– Numerous plugins

– Some easy extension

points but some more

difficult options

• Some things beyond

some teams

– Structured lifecycle

Enhancing Traditional Tools• Ant + Groovy

– Easy to write the

procedural pieces

– Easier to refactor

– Easier to test

– Ease of creating a build

DSL

– More concise

– Better interaction with

Java

– No impedence

mismatch with

developers

• Maven + Groovy

– Easier to extend

– More concise syntax

– Some scope for

refactoring

• Gradle

– Take the best of both

worlds and combine

them

What is Groovy?

• “Groovy is like a super version

of Java. It can leverage Java's

enterprise capabilities but also

has cool productivity features like closures,

DSL support, builders and dynamic typing.”

Groovy = Java – boiler plate code+ optional dynamic typing+ closures+ domain specific languages+ builders+ metaprogramming+ GDK library

Groovy Goodies Overview• Fully object oriented

• Closures: reusable

and assignable

pieces of code

• Operators can be

overloaded

• Multimethods

• Literal declaration for

lists (arrays), maps,

ranges and regular

expressions

• GPath: efficient

object navigation

• GroovyBeans

• grep and switch

• Templates, builder,

swing, Ant, markup,

XML, SQL, XML-RPC,

Scriptom, Grails,

tests, Mocks

Growing Acceptance …

A slow and steady start but now gaining in

momentum, maturity and mindshare

Now free

The Landscape of JVM Languages

Java bytecode calls

for static types

Dynamic features call

for dynamic types

mostly

dynamic

typing

The terms “Java Virtual Machine” and “JVM” mean a Virtual Machine for the Java™ platform.

Groovy StarterSystem.out.println("Hello, World!"); // optional semicolon,println 'Hello, World!' // System.out, brackets,

def name = 'Guillaume' // dynamic typingprintln "$name, I'll get the car." // GString

String longer = """${name}, the caris in the next row.""" // multi-line string

// with static typing

assert 0.5 == 1/2 // BigDecimal equals()

def printSize(obj) { // optional duck typingprint obj?.size() // safe dereferencing

task hello << {println 'Hello world!'

task intro(dependsOn: hello) << {println "I'm Gradle"

> gradle -q intro

Hello world!

I'm Gradle

Gradle Features• A very flexible general purpose build tool like Ant

• Switchable, build-by-convention frameworks a la Maven. But

we never lock you in!

• Very powerful support for multi-project builds

• Very powerful dependency management (based on Apache

Ivy)

• Full support for your existing Maven or Ivy repository

infrastructure

• Support for transitive dependency management without the

need for remote repositories or pom.xml and ivy.xml files

• Ant tasks as first class citizens

• Groovy build scripts

• A rich domain model for describing your build
