## Platform architecture

Gradle is arranged into several coarse-grained components called "platforms".
Each platform provides support for some kind of automation, such as building JVM software or building Gradle plugins.
Most platforms typically build on the features of other platforms.

This platform does not provide special support for a particular language or ecosystem.

### JVM platform

This is a platform that builds on the core and software platforms to add support for developing software that runs on the JVM.
This includes software that is implemented using Java, Kotlin or some other JVM language.

This platform provides specific support for Java, Groovy and Scala, and includes the foojay toolchain plugin.
