About:
Mill is a modern JVM build tool that uses a pure Java/Scala API for defining builds, enabling IDE-friendly editing and type safety. It optimizes performance through incremental builds, parallel execution, and a build cache to significantly reduce build times. The tool supports Java, Scala, Kotlin, and Android projects with extensible modules.
|
Key Features:
- Incremental builds and caching for fast performance
- IDE-friendly Scala/Java DSL with type safety
- Multi-language support (Java, Scala, Kotlin, Android)
- Extensible with custom modules and plugins
- Parallel task execution
|
Use Cases:
- Building large-scale JVM applications with fast incremental compilation
- Replacing slow build systems like Maven or Gradle for improved developer productivity
|
Alternatives:
-
Gradle
– Gradle uses Groovy/Kotlin DSL with more plugins but slower builds
-
Maven
– Maven uses XML configuration with rigid lifecycle but broader ecosystem
-
Bazel
– Bazel offers similar performance but complex setup and steeper learning curve
