I have been reading the free Gradle eBook, which infuriatingly wants
to tell me how to update SQL databases, not how to build a jar.

From what I have read so far, it seems, like Maven and Ivy,  Gradle
does not do class dependency management, only jar dependency
management.  If even one class in a jar is need, the whole jar
included in the distributed jar, and the contents of any jars any of
those classes need.  You tell it which jars depend on which. Therefore
the problem of dynamic loading of classes unknown at compile time does
not come up. The disadvantage is your jars are bloated.

Is that correct?
