This will result in significantly reduced Java compilation time in subsequent builds when outputs are not up-to-date or resolved from the build cache. Chances are caches in those .gradle/ directories have accumulated a few (or a few dozen) gigabytes over time. If so, you'll be relieved to know that Gradle will now periodically clean up unused /caches under GRADLE_USER_HOME and project root directories. A moment you have anticipated is nearly here, as the Kotlin DSL reaches version 1.0 RC3. Configuration avoidance, buildSrc refactoring propagation to the IDE, and lots of DSL polish make this the release to try. Gradle Kotlin DSL 1.0 will ship with the next version of Gradle, 5.0. Read this blog post for guidance on trying the Kotlin DSL and submitting feedback. You can now use SNAPSHOT plugin versions with the plugins and pluginManagement blocks. This is especially good news for Kotlin DSL users, who will get code assistance and auto-completion for these SNAPSHOT plugins. Special thanks to Sébastien Deleuze for contributing. Last but not least, included builds can now be nested. This makes some common workflows more convenient, such as working on multiple source repositories at the same time to implement a cross-cutting feature.
