Commerce Store Accelerator includes a set of Gradle build scripts that allow you to quickly and easily rebuild Commerce Store Accelerator after modules have been added, removed, or modified. Gradle is a build system that expands upon the concepts of Ant and Maven and uses a Groovy-based dynamic scripting language instead of XML to declare the build configuration. Gradle supports incremental builds by intelligently determining which parts of the build tree are up to date, so that any task dependent upon those parts will not need to be re-executed.
Note: This chapter assumes you are familiar with the Gradle build system. To learn more about Gradle, refer to its web site and documentation at http://www.gradle.org/.
