Groovy Gradle Version 5.3.1

Gradle is an open-source build automation tool focused on flexibility and performance. It has a mature offering of libraries,plugins, and testing. Gradle build scripts are written using a Groovy or Kotlin DSL.

Although this post focuses on installation, I also wanted to provide some links for extra value:

Plugins can be found @ https://plugins.gradle.org/

Netflix's Glisten is an ease of use Groovy library for building JVM applications with Amazon Simple Workflow Service (SWF) check out https://github.com/Netflix/glisten
