Hello Gradle Plugin Portal!

Build tool integration has always been a priority for us at CloudCaptain. It is an essential part of a smooth development and deployment workflow. Back in May we extended our support beyond Maven and released to the CloudCaptain Gradle plugin, both of which have been steadily improved ever since.

Gradle Plugin Portal

Recently Gradle has been making it easier and easier to both find and use plugins. There is now an official Gradle Plugin portal, making it easy to discover new plugins and keep track of new releases.

We are happy to announce that as of today the CloudCaptain Gradle Plugin is now available there too:

And that's is just the beginning. If you are using Gradle 2.1 or newer you can now also use the new and improved plugin syntax:

plugins {
    id "com.boxfuse.client" version "1.33.0.1460"
}

Using CloudCaptain with Gradle has never been easier!

Have fun! And if you haven't already, sign up for your CloudCaptain account now. All you need is a GitHub user and you'll be up and running in no time. The CloudCaptain free plan aligns perfectly with the AWS free tier, so you can deploy your Java application to EC2 completely free.
