We'll learn how to use the application and distribution plugins to build the app and bundle a distribution how to use the shadow plugin to turn it into a fat jar and how to use Proguard to minify the whole thing. It is instead the story of how to build such a thing with Gradle. Since time is money, I've estimated this might recoup $100,000 in lost developer productivity over the next 12 months. The Kotlin app that replaces it takes about 300ms to complete and I project we'll spend the next month cumulatively waiting on it less than 8 minutes. 1 The Gradle task took an average of 2min per build, and my team cumulatively spent 43 hours over the past month waiting for it to complete.
Recently I took it upon myself to replace an intelligent-but-expensive Gradle task with dumb-but-cheap JVM app. Sometimes you need to solve a problem, and you really don't feel like doing it with bash.
