The Gradle code base is essentially a large monolith, without strong internal boundaries.
This has a number of negative effects on productivity, including:

- Unclear ownership of code.
- Difficult to focus on one particular area.
- Unintended coupling between areas of the code, including tests.

## Decision

Organize the Gradle code base into a set of coarse-grained "architecture modules".

 *
 * h3. execute the plugin
 *
 * h3. plugins may have to deal with particular actions when a plugin is - installed - loaded -
 * unloaded - update - uninstalled
 *
 * h3. plugins should be able to have specific metadata for a plugin model and that be translated -
 * dependencies - resources - configuration - extension points of plugins
 *
 * For a particular application plugin there will be a declarative descriptor for that plugin type.
