Come hear Johannes and Thorsten present a case study of a migration process to convert an old development process based on ANT with thousands of lines of XML to a modern Gradle based environment! In this talk Johannes and Thorsten present how they made the switch to Gradle and what pitfalls they had to avoid.
Creation of a new DSL for internal deployment will be covered as well as tweaking external systems like nexus to achieve a highly flexible release cycle.
