OkBuck is a Gradle plugin that generates BUCK files so developers can use Facebook's Buck build system on existing Gradle projects, primarily Android ones. It includes a buck wrapper script that manages Buck installation and re-runs OkBuck only when needed via Watchman.

Use cases

  • speed up android builds with buck
  • generate buck files from a gradle project
  • migrate gradle android project to buck
  • share build artifacts across machines with buck http cache
  • run buck builds via a gradle-style wrapper

When to choose

  • you have a large Android Gradle project and want Buck's faster incremental builds
  • your team wants to try Buck without rewriting the build from scratch

When to avoid

  • your project is small and Gradle build times are acceptable
  • you are not invested in the Android/JVM ecosystem or Buck is no longer maintained for your use case
