[Gradle](https://gradle.org/) is a build tool with a focus on build automation and support for multi-language development. If you are building, testing, publishing, and deploying software on any platform, Gradle offers a flexible model that can support the entire development lifecycle from compiling and packaging code to publishing websites. Gradle has been designed to support build automation across multiple languages and platforms, including Java, Scala, Android, Kotlin, C/C++,...

## 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.

import org.gradle.build.event.BuildEventsListenerRegistry
// Using star import to workaround https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KTIJ-24390
import org.gradle.kotlin.dsl.*
import org.gradle.kotlin.dsl.support.serviceOf

/**
 * In build-logic and main build, register a BuildService instance separately,
 * which collects necessary information for build scan.
 */

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.

- **Version Compatibility:**
With Java serialization, even minor changes to a class (like adding a field) can break compatibility.

- **Cross-Language Compatibility:**
Java serialization is inherently Java-centric and does not support cross-language scenarios well.

- **Type Safety:**
Java serialization does not enforce type safety as strictly as some alternatives, potentially leading to runtime errors.
