Historique du projet

The official README describes Gradle Profiler as a tool that automates gathering profiling and benchmarking information for Gradle builds. It integrates with build scans, Async Profiler, JProfiler, YourKit, Java Flight Recorder, HPROF heap dumps, Chrome Trace output, and build-operation timing.

The project lives under the Gradle GitHub organization and is distributed through release binaries as well as package managers such as Homebrew and SDKMAN. Its 0.x versioning reflects a focused engineering utility rather than a large end-user platform.

Historique d'adoption

Adoption is concentrated among build engineers, Android teams, Gradle plugin authors, and maintainers who need repeatable before-and-after measurements for Gradle version upgrades or build-logic changes. The README's scenario-file support shows the intended workflow: encode a build scenario, run warmups and iterations, then compare outputs.

Modes d'utilisation

Typical usage is `gradle-profiler --benchmark --project-dir <build> <task>` for timing comparisons, or `gradle-profiler --profile <profiler> --project-dir <build> <task>` for deeper profiling. Scenario files in HOCON format support groups, Gradle versions, tasks, daemon modes, mutations, build operation measurements, and IDE sync scenarios.

The tool produces benchmark HTML/CSV output and profile artifacts under `profile-out` by default. It can also compare multiple Gradle versions, which makes it useful when a package-manager upgrade changes build behavior.

Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

Gradle Profiler matters to package nerds because it is the small tool used to decide whether bigger build-tool package changes helped or hurt. It makes Gradle upgrades, Java runtime choices, daemon settings, and cache behavior measurable instead of anecdotal.

The Homebrew package is convenient because performance checks often happen on developer workstations before CI jobs or release engineering pipelines adopt a new Gradle line.

Chronologie

• 0.x line: Gradle Profiler releases are published from the Gradle GitHub repository.
• 0.23.0: The README identifies this as the last version for builds that require Gradle 5.x support.
• 0.24.0: The release notes describe Java 17 as the runtime requirement and Gradle 6.0 as the minimum supported Gradle version.
