A year ago, we announced a new experimental project called Declarative Gradle. That blog post presented our vision for a declarative model for Gradle. It also introduced our concept of a developer-centric software definition. This was followed by the first Early Access Preview release in July 2024, accompanied by the First Look at Declarative Gradle blog post. The first EAP introduced a configuration model called Software Types, a new Declarative Configuration Language (DCL), and demonstrated the potential for tooling improvements and better IDE support.
