Gradle - Build automization
This is the glue which lets me automize everything. I am lazy and I do not want to maintain any local installation in order to be able to publish on my blog. The only requirement that this project has is a JVM.

Jbake - Static site/blog generator
The actual workhorse, it collects my content and generates the complete site using the Thymeleaf templating engine and AsciidoctorJ to transform my *.adoc content into html.

Jbake Gradle Plugin
Allows me to use jbake from gradle.

Groovy Server Pages (GSP) - Templating Engine
GSP (Groovy Server Pages) - A server-side view rendering technology based on Groovy.

Gradle Git and Github plugin - Publishing on GitHub pages
Nice plugin which allows me to use Gradle as the publishing tool for the GitHub pages.

AsciidoctorJ - Simple markup for the content
All content is written in AsciiDoc. I like AsciiDoc, a lightweight markup language, because the markup is quite simple and the content still readable. The Java implementation has a very good Gradle and Jbake integration.

Prettify.js with Sunburst theme
Automatically allow code to be styled and syntax highlighted using JavaScript.

Groovy
Used by Gradle and GSP.
