Transform an existing Java project, using Gradle to build

The existing Java project into the Gradle project, through the Buildship plug-in, the conversion is always an error, so the manual came; not very complicated, follow the steps.

Suppose the simple Java project structure is as follows:

1: Create the file under the root of the project Build.gradle

2: Add the Gradle script as needed, as shown in the following example:

Apply plugin: ' java '
apply plugin: ' eclipse '
archivesbasename = ' Somejar '
version = ' 1.0-snapshot 

' repositories {
    mavencentral ()
}

jar {
    manifest {
        attributes ' Main-class ': ' Com.test.Run
    ' }
}

dependencies {
   compile  ' log4j:log4j:1.2.16 '

3: Close or delete items, then re-import to eclipse, select Gradle Project when importing

Now the project structure is as follows

4: Create folder Src/main/java, move all packages to this folder

5:ok, manually add the necessary source folders and configuration files. At this point, the Java project has been turned into a gradle project.
