 # Architecture Overview
 
+This extension contains three major components:
+- [A Gradle server](./gradle-server) that runs in the background and provides project & task information, and runs Gradle tasks.
+- [A Gradle language server](./gradle-language-server) that provides language features such as code completion and diagnostics for gradle script files.
+- [A Gradle project importer](./extension/jdtls.ext/com.microsoft.gradle.bs.importer) that imports Gradle projects detected by the [Gradle Build Server](https://github.com/microsoft/build-server-for-gradle) into the workspace. This importer works with the Language Support for Java extension.

 The extension uses client/server architecture using [gRPC](https://grpc.io/) as the interface between the client and server. It uses TypeScript (Node.js) on the client and Java on the server. A long running server provides very good performance.

 Gradle is used as the build system for the extension, for both the client and the server. Gradle compiles the Java & Protobuf files and runs the relevant tasks to download & build all the dependencies of the project. The builds should work on Linux/MacOS & Windows.
 
 Getting started on this extension is as simple as `./gradlew build`.

+## Gradle Project Importer
+
+The Gradle project importer works as a client of the [Gradle Build Server](https://github.com/microsoft/build-server-for-gradle). The importer communicates with the Gradle build server via Build Server Protocol, and convert the build targets into Java Projects of JDT Language Server.

 ## Debugging Gradle plugin
 
 The extension uses a Gradle plugin (`com.microsoft.gradle.GradlePlugin`) to get a lot of information from your project's Gradle build. If you want to debug the Gradle plugin, you can follow these steps:

 - `gradle.disableConfirmations`: Disable the warning confirm messages when performing batch actions (eg clear tasks, stop daemons etc) (boolean)
 - `gradle.allowParallelRun`: Allow to run tasks in parallel, each running will create a new terminal. This configuration will override `gradle.reuseTerminals` and always create new task terminals when running or debugging a task.
 - `gradle.projectOpenBehaviour`: Specify the default method of opening newly created project ("Interactive", "Open" or "Add to Workspace")
+- `java.gradle.buildServer.enabled`: Whether to use build server to synchronize Gradle project ("on" or "off")
+- `java.gradle.buildServer.openBuildOutput`: Controls when the build output should open ("neverOpen", "openOnBuildStart" or "openOnBuildFailure")
