▶ Working with Gradle in IntelliJ IDEA
Did you ever wonder what does it exactly mean to check the option Create separate module per source set while navigating the Gradle create project wizard?
This seven-minute video by @trisha_gee is a must watch for those of us working with Gradle + IntelliJ IDEA.
▶ Multi repo development with Composite Builds
I've linked in the past to Composite Builds content. I am really excited about that feature. This Gradle Summit 2017 talk by @dazdeboer is a great overview of the steps necessary to transform a multi-project build in a composite build.
Moreover, It showcases a use case which I was not aware of. Composite Builds help while developing Gradle Plugins.
Tools
Google App Engine standard now supports Java 8
More importantly:
Google App Engine standard now fully supports off-the-shelf frameworks such as Spring Boot and alternative languages like Kotlin or Apache Groovy.
Remember if Spring Boot is supported, so is Grails 3 🍾🍾🍾
IntelliJ IDEA is probably the IDE used by the majority of the Groovy community. This issue contains several links to IntelliJ IDEA + Groovy Ecosystem projects to get the most out of the tool.
Also, don't miss the link to the Gradle Composite Build video towards the end of the email!
