gradle/maven

not sololearn related but i think it passes? what is gradle/maven, like are they frameworks or basically a new programming language on top of java? what are prerequisites (things I show know/understand) to begin using them. I watched a video online but i feels like im missing the first chapter. How does it help me build applications? also, where do you learn how to use frameworks/whatever-gradle-and-maven-is. tutorials seem so fast paced and they use scary scary words. perhaps im just not ready?

Gradle is a build automation system, for a large complicated build of projects, it is also used for testing and deploy.

maven uses "language" (group of statements) called POM (project object model) based on XML structure. gradle uses groovy, kotlin, java for tasks.

Maven and gradle is package management tools that help you build your project in java. Most of real life projects depends on frameworks / libraries / packages other than standard one (provided with JDK) For example if you use Maven you will have an pom file in your project where you list all external libs you want to use. Based on this file Maven will download them.
