== Introduction
While most of Helidon's examples use Maven, you can also use Helidon
with a Gradle project. Gradle 8.4+ is required to build Helidon 4 projects.
== Gradle Example
The Helidon
link:{helidon-github-examples-url}/quickstarts/helidon-quickstart-{flavor-lc}[Quickstart Example]
contains a `build.gradle` file that you can use as an example for building
your Helidon application using Gradle.
== Dependency Management
Gradle supports using a Maven POM to perform dependency management. You
can use the Helidon Dependencies POM for this purpose. Once you import
the Helidon dependency management POM you can specify dependencies
without providing a version.
