An instance is created at the start of a Gradle invocation and discarded at the end of that invocation.

The build session state also includes "cross session" state that is shared with any "nested" sessions that need to be created.
This only happens when the `GradleBuild` task is used. You can mostly ignore the distinction between "cross session" and "build session" state.

### Build tree state

"Build tree" is another name for the build definition.

## CODEOWNERS style rules:
## 1. Prefer team ownership over individual user ownership.
## 2. GBT-related team should be listed first.
## 3. Try to keep paths alphabetically sorted within visual groups.
## 4. List individual owners last.
##

# bt-unassigned-maintainers must be the first owner
# All directories that are not explicitly listed below are considered
# unassigned. This means that the ownership may be unknown, lost or
# mixed across several groups.

Most tasks that are used to build Gradle support the configuration cache, but some don't. For example, building the documentation currently requires you to disable the configuration cache.

To disable the configuration cache, run the build with `--no-configuration-cache`.

Tasks known to have problems are listed in the build logic. You can find this list at:

The core-runtime module defines each runtime:

- The target JVM for the runtime. Each runtime has its own JVM compatibility constraints.
- Some base services that are available to code hosted by the runtime. This varies by runtime.
- Additional constraints. For example, the CLI client runtimes limit the libraries that are available to the code in that runtime, for performance reasons.
