See [Gradle runtimes](runtimes.md) for a list of these runtimes and more details.

## Build state model

As Gradle executes, it acts on various pieces of the build definition, such as each project in the build.
Gradle tracks the state of each piece and transitions each piece through its lifecycle as the build runs.

## Architecture Standards

**Experimental!**

We'd like to capture our architectural decisions about the build tool as [Architectural Decision Records (ADRs)](https://adr.github.io/).
For now we just have this global repository of ADRs.
If we see fit, we can break these out to per-platform ones, or keep a hybrid approach to having global and platform-specific ADSs.

Our aim is to keep the process lightweight and approachable.

# CI Pipeline Configuration

## Open & import the project

In your IDEA, `File` - `Open`, select `.teamcity/pom.xml`, `import as project`, and you'll have a Maven project.

## Project structure

Mostly a standard Maven project structure. The entry point `settings.kts` defines the TeamCity project.

There are 3 subprojects in the TeamCity project hierarchy: `Check` for Gradle builds, `Promotion` for releasing Gradle versions, `Util` for miscellaneous utilities.
