Gradle Ex Machina
summary
Claims a Maven‑style, top‑down structure on Gradle by using the open source core Gradle plugins (settings + project plugins) that auto‑scan multi‑level layouts, generate enriched POMs and manifests, and publish to mavenLocal. Demo shows generating four jars (classes, javadoc, sources, shaded), manifest entries added when release=true, and tooling output like 39 plugins, 17 extensions, 24 configurations plus a codebase example of 97 Groovy files (~4k LOC).
