Using Gradle to build Java Web projects in eclipse

Gradle is an automated construction tool that uses a DSL to declare project settings. With Gradle, you can configure the dependencies of your project and automatically download the files you depend on, making it much more efficient to build your project.

1. Installing Gradle

Download the latest version of GRADLE, unzip it, set the environment variable gradle_home, and add%gradle_home%\bin to the path;

2. Installing the Gradle Plugin

Search for Gradle in Eclipse's help->eclipse marketplace, install buildship;

3. Create a Gradle project

Select File->new->other->gradle->gradle Project to create a new Gradle project:

Set the Gradle path and Java path:

4. Convert Project to Web project

Right-click the project, select Properties->project Facets, select dynamic Web Module:

5. Configure Gradle

Open the Build.gradle file for the following edits:

/* * This build file is auto generated by running the Gradle ' init ' task * by ' Simon ' at ' 16-11-17 Juan example 崍 2:49 ' with Gradle 3 .2 * * This generated file contains a sample Java project to get started. * For more details take a look at the Java Quickstart chapter in the Gradle * User Guide available at https://docs.gradle. org/3.2/userguide/tutorial_java_projects.html *///Apply The Java plugin to add support for javaapply plugin: ' java '//' This section, you declare, where to find the dependencies of your projectrepositories {//use ' jcenter ' for resolving yo    ur dependencies.

The warehouse uses Jcenter () or mavencentral (), but Jcenter () is better, including mavencentral (). The dependencies are configured with struts, Spring, hibernate files, and some other commonly used files.

Is it more convenient to start automatically downloading the dependent files for the above configuration by clicking the Run button of gradle executions? Of course, if you already have these files, you can also rely on the local files.
