 ====== Android Gradle ======
+Briefly,Android Gradle is a new build system,and we can assume it is used to replace the ant build system.From the Google official post,it can be integrated with the IDE easily,such as Android Studio.
+And the Gradle script is written with Groovy([[wp>Groovy_(programming_language)]]).
+Also it will provide a flexible way for customization, for different product but the same source codebase, for different build(debug,release,buildType,Product flavor),and of course it support  obfuscates the source code with proguard.
+Anyway,I hope it will be continuely improved,developed,and driven by Google.

 The TaskContainer.add() method has been deprecated and is scheduled to be removed in Gradle 2.0. Please use the create() method instead.

+Gradle Plugin User Guide:http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system/user-guide
+Gradle is an advanced build system as well as an advanced build toolkit allowing to create custom build logic through plugins.
-===== Gradle command =====
+Here are some of its features that made us choose Gradle:
+  * Domain Specific Language (DSL) to describe and manipulate the build logic
+  * Build files are Groovy based and allow mixing of declarative elements through the DSL and using code to manipulate the DSL elements to provide custom logic.
+  * Built-in dependency management through Maven and/or Ivy.
+  * Very flexible. Allows using best practices but doesn’t force its own way of doing things.
+  * Plugins can expose their own DSL and their own API for build files to use.
+  * Good Tooling API allowing IDE integration

 ===== What's Groovy =====
+Groovy:http://groovy.codehaus.org/
+[[wp>Groovy_(programming_language)]]
+<code>
+Groovy...
+  * is an agile and dynamic language for the Java Virtual Machine
+  * builds upon the strengths of Java but has additional power features inspired by languages like Python, Ruby and Smalltalk
+  * makes modern programming features available to Java developers with almost-zero learning curve
+  * provides the ability to statically type check and statically compile your code for robustness and performance
+  * supports Domain-Specific Languages and other compact syntax so your code becomes easy to read and maintain
+  * makes writing shell and build scripts easy with its powerful processing primitives, OO abilities and an Ant DSL
+  * increases developer productivity by reducing scaffolding code when developing web, GUI, database or console applications
+  * simplifies testing by supporting unit testing and mocking out-of-the-box
+  * seamlessly integrates with all existing Java classes and libraries
+  * compiles straight to Java bytecode so you can use it anywhere you can use Java
