We are excited to deliver another 2-day London Gradle class on April 29th. For more details, visit the gradleinc website at: http://gradle.biz/training.html

We are excited to present Gradle at the Profict Spring Camp. The camp this year is dedicated to build systems. There will be only three speakers: Jason van Zyl (Maven), Daniel Spiewak (Buildr) and me. I'm very excited about this event. I think this conference provides a rare opportunity to get an in-depth picture about the current build system landscape. Although the program is in dutch, all presentations are in English. So this is definitely worthwhile attending also for non-dutch people. For more details, see: http://java.profict.nl

Gradle Inc. and JFrog-Artifactory collaborative - community wins!

Hans Dockter, Gradle Inc. CEO; project manager of the Gradle build system and Shlomi Ben-Haim, JFrog CEO - announced a new collaborative relationship between Gradle Inc. and JFrog.

The two organizations are coming together to collaborate on a series of technical solutions, that will enable users to work better, faster and be more productive.

Gradle is an enterprise-grade build system. Gradle allows you to describe your build using a rich, extensible build language based on Groovy. It comes with build-by-convention support for Java, Groovy, Scala, OSGi, and web projects. Gradle provides exciting solutions for the big pain points that exist with current build systems.

JFrog Ltd. is the home of Artifactory which is the world's most advanced binaries repository manager. Artifactory offers powerful enterprise features and is available in OSS, Profesional and Cloud-based versions.

Artifactory is the only repository manager offering built-in features for Gradle, Maven and Ivy artifacts, as well as a general-purpose binaries management platform.

Gradle Inc. and JFrog road-maps already include the following near-future plans:

• A plugin for Gradle that will make it very easy to connect to Artifactory servers for artifacts resolution and deployment.
• An Artifactory plugin for Hudson that will provide an easy way to upload artifacts produced by a Gradle build to an Artifactory repository. JFrog will support the Gradle open source project with Artifactory Online infrastructures for internal use and as a location for distributing Gradle plugins.

The companies also agreed on a business cooperation model which will ignite technical services, sales and marketing collaboration in order to promote Artifactory and Gradle as a coherent build solution.

Hans Dockter says: "There is a lot of innovation going on in the build arena these days. Finally there are now solutions that will allow users to fully reap the benefits of project automation."

"Gradle is one of the most promising build systems, we believe that this cooperation will provide our users with an innovative and powerful solution for their build environment" said Yoav Landman-JFrog CTO.

Both JFrog and Gradle Inc. are excited by this cooperation, and see it as a great opportunity for improving users' experience and advancing build technologies and tools.

There will be a Gradle presentation on April 20th at the Riviera JUG. For more details, visit: http://www.rivierajug.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/201004-build
