# ADR-0007 - Support running Gradle on multiple Java versions and do not embed a Java runtime in the Gradle distribution

## Status

- PROPOSED on 2024-12-20

## Context

### Embedding a Java runtime in the Gradle distribution

There have been discussions on embedding a Java runtime in the Gradle distribution.
This would allow users to run Gradle without having to install a Java runtime beforehand.

# ADR-0009 - Use American English

## Status

- ACCEPTED on 2025-11-24

## Context

Gradle is an international open-source project with contributors from around the world. English is the primary language for code, comments, documentation, and communication, but there are variations in English spelling and terminology, specifically American English vs. British English.

Inconsistency in spelling conventions can lead to several issues:

# ADR-0002 - Avoid using Java serialization

## Status

- ACCEPTED on 2023-12-01

## Context

In Gradle we often need to serialize in-memory objects for caching, or to transmit them across process barriers, etc.
Java serialization is one way to implement this, however, despite its simplicity of implementation, it has several drawbacks:

- **Performance:**
Java's built-in serialization mechanism is often slower compared to other serialization solutions.

# ADR-0005 - Introduce a UI architecture module to the core platform

## Status

- ACCEPTED on 2024-02-07

## Context

The Gradle core platform provides many services to the Gradle platforms and builds logic. One such group of services allows logic to interact with the build user, to provide diagnostics, progress information, prompt for questions, and so on. Currently, these services are part of the core platform runtime architecture module.

# ADR-0004 - Use a platform-oriented architecture for Gradle

## Status

- ACCEPTED on 2024-02-07

## Context

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

# ADR-0003 - Avoid introducing Groovy types to public API

## Status

- ACCEPTED on 2024-01-12

## Context

Gradle's public API requires equal access from all JVM-based languages.
Kotlin, Groovy, Java, and other JVM-based languages should be able to use the Gradle API without relying on another language's standard library.

Historically, Gradle has shipped with some Groovy types in very prominent APIs.

    from that library.
