René,
I did my research (including looking through the Elcipse plugin) before I post.
What I am asking is very common while developing a java web application using IDE. It would be meaningless if integrating Gradle into IDE and can’t build the project auotomatiically and deploy and test within IDE. I guess I just lack of the knowledge of how-to and hope this forum has someone who gone through this already and would like to share the experience.
We have a list of Java projects some are using Ant while the others are using Maven. I am trying to use Gradle to provide a consistent building tool. To make develops buy in this tool, I have to make the developers feel as comfortable as possible to switch to Gradle. This means, to a minimum, the Gradle should not change the way of their development environment, let alone take away some of the existing convenience.
I would appreciate if you,your team and others in the forum could provide some help. As I go through the Gradle documentations, i believe in this tool and its future.
Thanks, Simon
