gradle Initializing Gradle Initializing a New Java Library
Example
Prerequisite: Installing Gradle
Once you have Gradle installed, you can setup a new or existing project by running
cd $PROJECT_DIR
gradle init --type=java-library
Note that there are other project types like Scala you can get started with, but we'll use Java for this example.
You will end up with:
.
├── build.gradle
├── gradle
│ └── wrapper
│ ├── gradle-wrapper.jar
│ └── gradle-wrapper.properties
├── gradlew
├── gradlew.bat
├── settings.gradle
└── src
├── main
│ └── java
│ └── Library.java
└── test
└── java
└── LibraryTest.java
You can now run gradle tasks and see that you can build a jar, run tests, produce javadocs and much more even though your build.gradle file is:
apply plugin: 'java'
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
compile 'org.slf4j:slf4j-api:1.7.21'
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
}
