Multiple module setup using standard jar task generates an empty jar

I am building a multiple module project and started on working the first module.

The build.gradle file from the parent module contains the following

allprojects {

apply plugin: ‘maven’

group = ‘com.multi.modules’

version = ‘1.0.0-SNAPSHOT’ }

subprojects {

apply plugin: ‘java’

sourceCompatibility = 1.8

targetCompatibility = 1.8

/* add a provided scope for dependencies */

configurations {

provided

compile.extendsFrom provided

}

repositories {

mavenLocal()

}

}

The settings.gradle looks like

rootProject.name = ‘TestingMultiModule’ include ‘:processor’

The child build.gradle at processor directory contains

apply plugin:‘scala’

description = ‘The Processor’

dependencies {

compile group: ‘com.typesafe’, name:‘config’, version: ‘1.2.1’

testCompile group: ‘org.hamcrest’, name: ‘hamcrest-all’, version:‘1.3’

testCompile group: ‘org.mockito’, name: ‘mockito-core’, version:‘1.9.5’

testCompile group: ‘com.jayway.awaitility’, name: ‘awaitility’, version:‘1.6.0’

testCompile group: ‘com.jayway.awaitility’, name: ‘awaitility-java8’, version:‘1.6.0’

testCompile group: ‘junit’, name: ‘junit’, version:‘4.11’ }

I have some basic java and scala code in the processor module. After invoke ./gradlew clean jar

jar -tf processor/build/libs/processor-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar META-INF/ META-INF/MANIFEST.MF

I am not sure why non of my source file is compiling into a class file.

I tried to remove the scala plugin and the java code is not generated when I ran ./gradlew compileJava.

A little lost on what is going on here.

UPDATE: when ran in debug mode I noticed Skipping task ‘:processor:compileJava’ as it has no source files. As it turn out, it is my fault. I didn’t place the file structure correctly. The fix is fix my file structure, ie /src/main/java.
