Secure and Efficient Dependency Management for Gradle Builds
Enable your teams to confidently publish Gradle-based artifacts while safeguarding your software supply chain from risk. With native support for Gradle package workflows, Sonatype enables streamlined dependency resolution, scalable repository management, automated risk remediation, and seamless integration with enterprise CI/CD pipelines.
Gradle Packages and Repository Workflows
Gradle is a modern build automation tool that supports multi-language, multi-module projects and offers flexibility in how dependencies and artifacts are resolved and published. For large organizations working with open source components, a strong repository strategy is critical. Gradle builds declare repositories to retrieve dependencies and apply publishing logic to share artifacts internally. Sonatype helps you govern every step of your Gradle process. This means trusted repository access, publishing controls, and comprehensive scanning of dependencies for vulnerabilities, license risk, and policy violations.

Learn MoreFrequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between “Gradle Package” and “Gradle Repository”?
A “Gradle Package” is the build output (artifact) produced by a Gradle project (e.g., a JAR, plugin or bundle). A “Gradle Repository” is the storage location where such packages are resolved or published.
Do you support multi-module Gradle projects?
Yes. Sonatype integrates with your repository, scanning and policy-enforcement workflows across multi-module builds and CI/CD pipelines.
