You probably know how to use AST transformations. You might although think that writing your own AST transformations is something complicated, and takes deep knowledge of academical compliers, abstract syntax tree and other neat stuff.

We are convinced that Gradle is already the best available enterprise build system. Yet we are far from done. We have finally the R&D bandwidth to deeply improve Gradle in the areas where it lacks. We also have the bandwidth to contribute some fundamental innovation to the domain of build and continuous delivery. All this will bring Gradle much closer to our vision of Gradle being the ultimate build system. We start by giving an overview of where Gradle is currently in the build system market when it comes to features and adoption. We will then talk about the next generation multi-platform dependency management. A dependency management that can fully capture the requirements of Android, JavaScript and the native domain as well as to improve the dependency management for the Java world. We will talk about how Gradle will dramatically improve the performance by introducing global caches and other optimizations. Finally we will talk about the new Gradle extendability model and its upcoming native and Javascript support.

See how this server-side guy fell in love with client-side application development when he discovered that his years of Grails experience already taught him how to be a great JavaScript developer. We'll explore how advanced architectural libraries, such as cujoJS and RaveJS, provide parallels to many of the concepts you love in Grails.

API abstraction is the separation of cross cutting concerns related to the api to better enable externalization to architectural concerns. Not only does this enable easier externalization, synchronization and sharing of the environment with external architecture but this also enables us to reload the api configuration on the fly, have DRY'r code, easier batching, api chaining, reduced code, synchronized configuration/security, reduced throughput and much more.

We are pleased to announce that Gradle dependency management plugin 0.5.1.RELEASE is now available from Maven Central, Bintray, and the Gradle Plugin Portal. For more information about how the plugin can improve your Gradle builds, please read the introductory blog post.

This maintenance release fixes an issue with the support for Maven-style exclusions. In addition, 0.5.0 introduced a new task, dependencyManagement, that you can use to diagnose your project's dependency management. More details can be found in the project's README.

In STS 3.6.4 we introduced ".properties" editor support, for editing Spring Boot configuration properties.

Soon thereafter, people started asking about support for ".yml" files as well. We are proud to say that the ".yml" support is now reality.

Check out the 5 minute video demo to see this in action:

The Spring Boot Yaml editor is built on top of YEdit. STS adds boot-specific content-assist, validation, hover-infos and hyperlink detectors.

It can be tried out today from STS's nightly update site and is planned to be released as part of STS 3.7.0 near the end of June 2015.

We are pleased to announce that the latest maintenance release for Spring AMQP (1.4.5.RELEASE) is now available. This contains just a few bug fixes since 1.4.4.

In addition, the first milestone release for the 1.5 release is also available (1.5.0.M1). A release candidate will be available in a month or so, with the GA expected later in the summer.

The main features of this release are highlighted below:

##Class-level @RabbitListener

It is now possible to define the @RabbitListener annotation at the class level. Together with method-level @RabbitHandler annotations, this allows a single…

Spring Cloud 1.0 is here! It offers a powerful way to create and consume microservices. As you introduce new services, you introduce integration problems: services can be shaky, they can disappear and - as they're often exposed over HTTP - they require a bit more footwork than in-process method invocations. In this webinar, we'll focus specifically on how Spring Cloud integrates service registration (e.g.: Eureka, Consul, or Zookeeper), declarative REST clients (with Netflix's Feign), reactive programming and the circuit breaker pattern with Hystrix to support easy, robust service-to-service invocations.
