The principles we strive to follow in the Eta plugin are:
Minimality
Interoperability
Reproducibility
Minimality
The user should only have to specify the minimum information needed for the plugin to run the build. There should be smart defaults.
Interoperability
The plugin should integrate seamlessly into Gradle's infrastructure and take advantage of as many of Gradle's built-in features as possible. Moreover, multi-module Gradle projects involving other JVM languages should just work.
Reproducibility
The plugin should warn the user if they have specified a build that is not cannot be replicated on another system easily. A Gradle build that works on your system should work on other systems without issues.

We will now proceed to learn the basics of Gradle.
