IntelliJ IDEA – The IDE That Speaks Gradle

on YouTube ↗59m

" summary

Shows how IntelliJ uses the tooling API to push model builders into Gradle, receive structured project models, run tasks/tests/debug sessions through Gradle, and edit build scripts with live dependency and plugin search (nightly features demoed). Demonstrates extracting a convention plugin (created build-logic, moved plugins/config, tests still pass) and debugger-attached test fixes. Describes work to replace all-or-nothing sync with streaming sync and the Declarative Gradle initiative to make compact, schema-driven build files.
