 ## What is Gradle
 
 Gradle is a build tool commonly used in the Java ecosystem. It is responsible for tasks like compiling code, managing
-dependencies, and running applications. You do not need to learn Gradle to use Processing in the P
+dependencies, and running applications. You do not need to learn Gradle to use Processing in the PDE, but if you feel

+helps bridge the gap between Processing and standard Java workflows.
