java - Maven profiles equivalent of Gradle -

i'm trying achieve simple scenario in spring boot project build: including / excluding dependencies , packaging war or jar depending on environment.

so example, environment dev include devtools , package jar, prod package war etc.

i know not xml based configuration anymore , can write if statements in build.gradle there recommended way of achieving this?

can declare common dependencies , refer them in single file instead of creating multiple build files?

is there best practice changing build configuration based on build target environment?

ext {     devdependencies = ['org.foo:dep1:1.0', 'org.foo:dep2:1.0']     proddependencies = ['org.foo:dep3:1.0', 'org.foo:dep4:1.0']     isprod = system.properties['env'] == 'prod'     isdev = system.properties['env'] == 'dev' }  apply plugin: 'java'  dependencies {     compile 'org.foo:common:1.0'     if (isprod) {        compile proddependencies     }     if (isdev) {        compile devdependencies     } }  if (isdev) tasks.withtype(war).all { it.enabled = false }
