equivalents for mvn update and mvn install in gradle

Tags:

I am new in gradle hence I have some questions about gradle. Before gradle I worked with maven and in maven there are some commands such as

  • mvn update
  • mvn clean install

With mvn update we download the dependency packages from internet and the other packages from the different projects.

With mvn install we create the jar, war, ear or ejb so what are the equivalents for maven command in gradle?

  • mvn update ~= gradle ...

    and

  • mvn clean install ~= gradle clean ...

What is equivalent of mvn install in Gradle?

gradle install publishes into the local Maven repo, and mavenLocal() makes sure to look there for dependencies.

Can I use Gradle instead of Maven?

In the end, what you choose will depend primarily on what you need. Gradle is more powerful. However, there are times that you really do not need most of the features and functionalities it offers. Maven might be best for small projects, while Gradle is best for bigger projects.

Can we use Maven and Gradle together?

Short answer: yes. There's no conflict between having two independent build scripts for the same project, one in Maven and one in Gradle.

Which is faster Maven or Gradle?

Gradle is between 7 and 85 times faster than Maven when building incremental changes; benefits increase with number of subprojects. Gradle builds are 3 to 30 times faster than Maven builds when task outputs can be resolved Gradle's build cache.

Gradle will automatically fetch all required dependencies for you.

Long story short:

mvn update        ~= ./gradlew build --refresh-dependencies mvn clean install ~= ./gradlew clean build 

TL;DR

To force Gradle to redownload dependencies you can execute (How can I force gradle to redownload dependencies?):

./gradlew build --refresh-dependencies 

To assemble you project without executing tests (Gradle build without tests):

./gradlew assemble 

To completely build you project with test execution:

./gradlew build 

You can skip certain tasks by providing -x argument:

./gradlew build -x test
