I am taking a Java course, I am starting to use Java SE and glassfish, the course uses maven, but I use gradle for my projects, my question is: how can I “generate” the structure of a Java web using gradle? Because I use neovim to program in linux. ---

Gradle does not have the possibility to generate layouts other than what the `init` task provides. It is not yet extensible like Maven archetypes. But maybe you find a template out there, or alternatively just write your build as you need and want it, using [the `war` plugin](https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/war_plugin.html) for example. ---

Thanks for your answer, I will see about the plugin, I did not know about it.
