# Cross-cutting architecture checks and decisions

## 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.

You can then replace the existing file with this new downloaded version. 
### Java Toolchain

The Gradle build uses [Java Toolchain](https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/toolchains.html) support to compile and execute tests across multiple versions of Java.

Available JDKs on your machine are automatically detected and wired for the various compile and test tasks.
