Most of the Gradle effort has been in Java/Groovy compile, jar and zip creation, distribution and release. Which is fine.
I am investigating using Gradle for website construction. Even though I
use Gant for the moment, the problem is one of ensuring files are up to
date and taking action if they are not. The current Gant script does
all the decision making in code. With SCons the problem is relatively
straightforward using the DAG-based approach -- specify all the
relationships between the files and a command for transform of one file
to another.
Gradle also has a DAG so should be able to do what SCons can do.
However whilst SCons is focused explicitly on files, directories and
relationships, Gradle focuses on tasks and their relationships. It is
not immediately clear to me what the right model is for achieving using
Gradle that which is trivial using SCons.
I am hoping I have just missed the right bit of the manual/user
guide . . .
Has anyone experience of using Gradle for this file system management
view of build?
Thanks.
