Software code bases are growing in size and complexity. The build system must enable a continuous integration process for such software stacks, by connecting all of the different modules together and giving fast feedback on the correctness of any change. Without such a build infrastructure, the productivity of the software development process suffers terribly.

The mission of Gradle is to provide a tightly integrated and super fast build infrastructure for even the largest and most complex software stacks on the planet. We want to turn Gradle into the most powerful native build system on the planet.
