Gradle Ex Machina
summary
Claim: Gradle can provide Maven‑style, top‑down constraints by shipping a set of opinionated plugins that create a reusable “super‑pom” layered on top of Gradle. Uses: Gradle (Groovy/Kotlin DSL), a settings plugin for multi‑level discovery, a project DSL plugin that generates minPom, source/javadoc jars, Jacoco aggregates, license reports and publishing to Bintray/Maven Central. The repo bundles ≈29 plugins (32 shown in the demo); the plugin builds effective POMs, aggregate reports and enriched manifests and it works as shown via command‑line tasks and generated outputs.
