Removed unused dependencies from Gradle cache

gradle-cache-cleaner

Reads the Gradle journal in ~/.gradle/caches/journal-1 to determine which files have not been used recently, and deletes them.

Bugs, feature suggestions and help requests can be filed with the issue-tracker.

Help wanted!

Do you know a better way to clear the Gradle cache, let me know.

• Filesystem atime does not work (because many filesystems are mounted without this active).

Obtain

The project is implemented in Java and built using Maven. The project is available on the central Maven repository.

It assumes the classpath contains a Gradle distribution.

Usage

com.github.skjolber.gradle.cleaner.Runner timestamp

where timestamp is the UTC time in milliseconds. Files not accessed since the timestamp will be deleted.

Note that this process is not perfect, but works because of Gradles lenient nature.

Compatibility

Tested with Gradle 6.x and 7.1.x
