How to create Java gradle project

Question

How to create Java Gradle project from command line?

It should create standard maven folder layout like on the picture below.

UPDATE:

.1. From http://www.gradle.org/docs/current/userguide/tutorial_java_projects.html I need to create file build.gradle with 2 lines

apply plugin: 'java' apply plugin: 'eclipse' 

.2. Add to build.gradle task below, than execute gradle create-dirs

task "create-dirs" << {    sourceSets*.java.srcDirs*.each { it.mkdirs() }    sourceSets*.resources.srcDirs*.each { it.mkdirs() } } 

.3. Then run gradle eclipse (or corresponding string to other IDE plugin configured)

So is there way to do it in one command?

Answer 1

To create a Java project: create a new project directory, jump into it and execute

gradle init --type java-library 

Source folders and a Gradle build file (including a wrapper) will be build.

The gradle guys are doing their best to solve all (y)our problems ;-). They recently (since 1.9) added a new feature (incubating): the "build init" plugin.

See: build init plugin documentation
