A bunch of small projects exploring the capabilities of Gradle in comparison to Maven.
The most simple Gradle project. Just execute gradle helloWorld to run it. Have a look at the build.gradle. Run gradle world to execute the most simple multi-task build.
An example of a simple Java library bootstrapped with gradle init --type java-library.
Run gradle build (or ./gradlew build if you want to use the wrapper) to build the project.
Run gradle test to execute the tests. Run gradle -Dtest.single=Library test to execute a single test. (I added some logging to make the test execution visible on the command line.)
This one demonstrates the simple lifecycle of a Gradle build and explains the difference of task configuration vs. task execution. Have a look at build.gradle and run gradle lifecycle to learn more.
