## Decision

Organize the Gradle code base into a set of coarse-grained "architecture modules".
An architecture module is responsible for providing some coherent set of features and:

- Provides a set of APIs and services for use from outside the module.
- Has a private implementation.
- Is owned by a single team. A team may own multiple architecture modules.

The modules are arranged into several different "Gradle platforms".

plugins {
    id("gradlebuild.module-identity")
}

repositories {
    ['distributions', 'distributions-snapshots'].each { distUrl ->
        ivy {
            name 'Gradle distributions'
            url 'https://services.gradle.org'
            patternLayout {
                artifact "/${distUrl}/[module]-[revision]-bin(.[ext])"
            }
            metadataSources {
                artifact()
            }
