Can you supply an online tutorial of this approach using Gradle? ... I'm not sure what to google to find it myself (I don't use Gradle, but it sounds powerful).



The concept of DSL is quite popular and well known. It can be effectively implemented in almost every language, but some languages are better suited to DSLs than others and allow hiding the underlying language structures (this is so called "syntactic sugar").

Here is a small example I just googled: http://mrhaki.blogspot.com/2013/05/gradle-goodness-extending...

The main idea is to use the language to create another language layer, better suited to the task at hand.


Thanks, no idea grandle has 1st class support for creating DSLs and I overlooked the 1 keyword you had in your reply -- my bad. In general I am familiar with dsl's.

Appreciate the feedback.
