Simple Java project build example

Old Forum Archive
1

Please provide an example to build a simple java project along with dependencies fully written in gradle and groovy .This will help a lots to me as well as our fellows who are new to gradle .

I can not find even a single complete script for that on net

2

the simpliest java build file with repository and dependency definition can look like this:

apply plugin:'java'
  repositories{
    mavenCentral()
}
  dependencies{
    compile 'org.slf4j:slf4j-api:1.6.6'
 }
3

Suppose I have a simple pojo class Abc.java and i want to compile it, build it , and create a jar for it .

Please provide a Gradle build script for that

4

putting that java file in src/main/java of your project folder and run build with the script above should do the trick

Thank you .It worked

You can either use the war plugin to package your web application as web archive and deploy this manually to your server. for testing your app you can also use the jetty plugin to start and stop your web app in a jetty container from your build. Have a look at the according chapters in the userguide: http://gradle.org/docs/current/userguide/userguide_single.html#web_project_tutorial and http://gradle.org/docs/current/userguide/userguide_single.html#jetty_plugin

cheers!

To keep things clean here in the forum, let’s close this thread and move on in the other jetty related thread you already opened: http://forums.gradle.org/gradle/topics/jetty_server_configuration
