JMH Gradle Plugin

The JMH Gradle Plugin provides integration of the Java Microbenchmark Harness (JMH) into Gradle builds, enabling developers to write and run performance benchmarks directly in their projects. JMH is the de facto standard for writing accurate and reliable Java microbenchmarks, and this plugin automates tasks like generating benchmark sources, compiling them with the required JMH support classes, and packaging runnable benchmark jars. It simplifies the workflow by handling classpath setup and wiring Gradle tasks for running benchmarks. Developers can run benchmarks via Gradle commands, produce reports, and compare performance over time. This reduces the manual effort of setting up JMH, making performance testing a natural part of the development cycle. The plugin is especially useful in projects where regression in execution speed or memory use must be carefully monitored.
