Concurrent execution of gradle tasks in the same module

Parallel Task Execution Gradle Plugin

This plugin allows tasks that are defined within the same module to be executed in parallel (as specified in the parallelTasks configuration). It should not be confused with the --parallel option that allows tasks from separate projects in a decoupled multi-project build to be executed in parallel.

Usage

Add the dependency to your build script

buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven {
            url  "http://dl.bintray.com/barryearles/maven" 
        }
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath "com.github.paralleltasks:parallel-tasks-gradle-plugin:1.0.1"
    }
}

Apply the plugin

apply plugin: 'com.github.paralleltasks'

After applying the plugin, a new task named runParallelTasks is now available

$ ./gradlew tasks
:tasks

...

}

parallelTasks {
    taskNames = [
        "browsersyncServer",
        "webpackDevServer",
        "bootRun"  // Task provided by "spring-boot" gradle plugin (e.g. apply plugin: 'spring-boot')
