Create a Java Web project using Gradle and Eclipse

Installing Gradle

1. Official website Download gradle binary file http://gradle.org/downloads
2. Unzip, and add environment variables

Building a Web project Gradle init

Gradle provides the command to initialize the project, but the command is not yet complete and supports only a few projects http://gradle.org/docs/2.2/userguide/build_init_plugin.html

The project structure is as follows:

• java source directory: Src/main/java
• ava test code directory: src/test/ Java
• Resource file directory: src/main/resources
• Test resource directory: src/test/ Resources
• web project directory: Src/main/webapp equivalent webroot
  • can be changed by Webappdirname variable ex:webappdirname=" WebApp "
    
    Under WebApp, create a new Web-inf folder, create a new Web. XML under the Web-inf folder, and the general view file under the WebApp folder. Build.gradle file Create a new Build.gradle file in the SRC sibling directory and add the following code:

apply plugin: ‘java‘apply plugin: ‘war‘ //用来生成warapply plugin  :     ' ECLIPSE-WTP '    //the plug-in used to build the Eclipseweb project (WEB-TOOL-PL Atform)  apply plugin  :     ' jetty '    //embed jetty server in Project  version = ‘1.0‘ //property // Uses JDK 7sourceCompatibility = 1.7targetCompatibility = 1.7  // 1. Get dependencies from Maven local repository// 2. Get dependencies from Maven central repositoryrepositories {mavenCentral()} //Project dependenciesdependencies {compile ‘ch.qos.logback:logback-classic:1.1.2‘compile ‘org.springframework:spring-webmvc:4.0.6.RELEASE‘compile ‘jstl:jstl:1.2‘//include in compile only, exclude in the warprovidedCompile ‘javax.servlet:servlet-api:2.5‘}

• Open the command line and execute the gradle Eclipse command under the project file path

(usually with Gradle cleaneclipse Eclipse directive: To completely rewrite existing eclipse files, execute a clean task together with its COR Responding Generationtask)

• Open Eclipse,import project come in • Execute Gradle runjetty run project using Tomcat as an embedded server

Common commands:

• Gradle build compiles the project, builds the build folder, and generates the appropriate jar or war package.

• Gradle clean and build instead, delete the build folder

• Gradle tasks to view the task that can be run
• Gradle Eclipse Build development environment, download the defined jar package
• Gradle Cleaneclipse
• Gradle Jettyrun
• Gradle Jettyrunwar would build the WAR file
• Gradle Jettystop
