Hey folks, we have released 2.0.0-alpha.1 of the IAC Gradle plugin (previously known as the Terraform plugin), but we have also added support for OpenTofu. 🕺 This is the first alpha release with many breaking changes. The major one is that we reworked it so that is purely model-driven - no need to configure any tasks, just configure the model. For those of you who use Terraform for all your infrastructure mgmt, this is a big step forward over the previous releases. And now, having added OpenTofu support, we are covering another base. If you already use this plugin suite, feel free to check out the new version and provide feedback, but make sure you read both the changelog and the upgrade guide over at https://iac-gradle.ysb33r.org. (There are some small features missing, which will be added before the final release - they are all listed over at https://gitlab.com/ysb33rOrg/gradle/terraform-gradle-plugin/-/milestones/18#tab-issues)

My talk from KCD Austria on Java CI/CD observability with a trainwreck GitHub Actions + OTel observability demo 😰 : I hope to finally connect all the bits and make the demos stable in the next versions. Gradle is fine there, but passing spans between tools could be still better

🚀 New Blog Post: NixOS Meets Enterprise Java – A Cautionary Tale ☕❄️ Running an enterprise Java application on NixOS sounded like a great idea—until we hit major roadblocks with Gradle support and authenticated resources. In this post, I share what went wrong, how we fixed it, and why NixOS is still the best option for managing bare metal and VM infrastructure.

Created a new Gradle plugin to publish to Maven Central via the new Maven Central Publishing API: https://github.com/SgtSilvio/gradle-maven-central-publishing I know that there are already some plugins out there, but many seem to be unfinished or doing more things than they should imho. This plugin does not require its own DSL configuration. If you already have the maven-publish and signing plugins configured, you only need to configure 2 Gradle properties for the Maven Central Portal credentials. The publishing tasks are named with a similar scheme than the tasks created by the maven-publish plugin:

publishToMavenCentral

and

publish<PublicationName>PublicationToMavenCentral

New video on Gradle and Nx but not Nix, specially for @Benedikt Ritter :)

Hey folks, @Paul Merlin and I will be at Android Makers in Paris later this week. If you are around and want to chat Gradle things, come see us. We will have a session on Friday at 1.45pm as well: "Des temps de build qui cassent votre rythme ? Découvrez comment les accélérer !"

Hi all! I am planning to host 1-2 Gradle plugin maintainer office hours sessions. The goal is to discuss the needs of plugin maintainers, and how we can help them (e.g. tooling, documentation, etc.). Let me know in the 🧵 if you would be interested; any topic suggestions are welcome, too! https://maintainermonth.github.com/

Release 1.1.x of CodeArtifact Gradle plugin, including support for CodeArtifact behind CloudFront for distributed teams.

I am happy to announce that the IAC plugin for Gradle 2.0.0 is finally out with good support for Terraform & OpenTofu. If you were using the older 1.x Terraform plugins you can upgrade to this version, but do read the upgrade info as there are breaking changes DSL (for the good). • All docs https://iac-gradle.ysb33r.org/ • Upgrade notice https://iac-gradle.ysb33r.org/infrastructure-as-code-gradle-plugin-suite/2.0.0/upgrading.html Requires a minimum of Gradle 7.3.3 and JDK11 to run.

Hey folks, Gradle `9.0.0-milestone-9` has been released. It contains Java 17, Groovy 4, Kotlin 2 and 95+% of the deprecation removals. Can you try it out and let us know if you find problems? Note: Release notes are still minimal, but the upgrade guide is comprehensive.

Hello all ! We at Deezer just open sourced the tool we used internally to generate update dependencies reports from a version catalog. We can now present Caupain, it's a tool available both as a CLI (installable via brew or apt, see the doc) and as a Gradle plugin available on Gradle Plugin Portal. The tool is quick, easy to use, straightforward, and fully coded in Kotlin Multiplatform. We hope it will be of use to some of you, and feel free to open issues or add functionalities if you like it !

In 40 minutes @Inaki Villar will be speaking at Quarkus Insights about the ongoing support for Gradle Configuration Cache in Quarkus - https://quarkus.io/insights/

Hello gradlephant enjoyers, we have made a plugin which lets you use Elide from Gradle 😄 Elide is a runtime and batteries-included toolchain for Kotlin, JavaScript/TypeScript, and Python. Elide is built with GraalVM, so it can run all these languages and they can interoperate seamlessly. Faster compile times for javac Furthermore, Elide ships a native-image version of javac and kotlinc, which can be up to 20x faster to compile identical code vs. stock javac or kotlinc through Gradle. This gain is especially experienced by smaller projects (under 10k classes). Faster dependency resolution and download Elide ships a Maven resolver, and uses lockfiles (like Node) to make resolution very fast. This plugin can use Elide to fetch dependencies, which are arranged in a local Maven root, so are ready on-disk when Gradle needs them. Elide's dependency resolver isn't benchmarked yet, but simple wall-clock measurements show a 100x+ improvement over fetching dependencies with Gradle directly. Elide is in beta and this plugin is experimental. Please, let us know if you run into issues! party gradlephant Technical details: • Elide is not a fork: accepts identical inputs and outputs as javac, since it's just javac built natively • Elide supports up to JDK24, and use with

--source X/--target X/--release X

• Kotlinc is not supported yet through Gradle https://github.com/elide-dev/gradle

In 10 minutes, join @Paul Merlin and @Dmitriy Smirnov for the presentation about IntelliJ IDEA – The IDE That Speaks Gradle - https://www.youtube.com/live/qg6tj8Tf36E Why and when is a working CLI build not enough? What does it mean to actually support Gradle in an IDE? Why should you wait for that sync to finish? And what does paying that price bring? The Gradle and IntelliJ IDEA teams have long been collaborating to bring an optimal developer experience. In this talk, Gradle Principal Engineer Paul Merlin and IntelliJ IDEA Product Manager Dmitrii Smirnov will showcase the IDE’s capabilities for running, testing, navigating, and editing. They’ll also discuss technical implementations like what sync is and how it works, and shed light on what to expect in the future.
