There is simple Eclipse plugin to run Gradle, that just uses command line way to launch gradle.
What is gradle analog for maven compile and run mvn compile exec:java -Dexec.mainClass=example.Example
This way any project with gradle.build
could be run.
UPDATE: There was similar question What is the gradle equivalent of maven's exec plugin for running Java apps? asked before, but solution suggested altering every project build.gradle
package runclass;
public class RunClass {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("app is running!");
}
}
Then executing gradle run -DmainClass=runclass.RunClass
:run FAILED
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':run'.
> No main class specified
There is no direct equivalent to mvn exec:java
in gradle, you need to either apply the application
plugin or have a JavaExec
task.
application
plugin Activate the plugin:
plugins {
id 'application'
...
}
Configure it as follows:
application {
mainClassName = project.hasProperty("mainClass") ? project.getProperty("mainClass") : "NULL"
}
On the command line, write
$ gradle -PmainClass=Boo run
JavaExec
task Define a task, let's say execute
:
task execute(type:JavaExec) {
main = project.hasProperty("mainClass") ? getProperty("mainClass") : "NULL"
classpath = sourceSets.main.runtimeClasspath
}
To run, write gradle -PmainClass=Boo execute
. You get
$ gradle -PmainClass=Boo execute
:compileJava
:compileGroovy UP-TO-DATE
:processResources UP-TO-DATE
:classes
:execute
I am BOO!
mainClass
is a property passed in dynamically at command line. classpath
is set to pickup the latest classes.
If you do not pass in the mainClass
property, both of the approaches fail as expected.
$ gradle execute
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* Where:
Build file 'xxxx/build.gradle' line: 4
* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating root project 'Foo'.
> Could not find property 'mainClass' on task ':execute'.
You just need to use the Gradle Application plugin :
apply plugin:'application'
mainClassName = "org.gradle.sample.Main"
And then simply gradle run
.
As Teresa points out, you can also configure mainClassName
as a system property and run with a command line argument.
Expanding on First Zero's answer, I'm guess you want something where you can also run gradle build
without errors.
Both gradle build
and gradle -PmainClass=foo runApp
work with this:
task runApp(type:JavaExec) {
classpath = sourceSets.main.runtimeClasspath
main = project.hasProperty("mainClass") ? project.getProperty("mainClass") : "package.MyDefaultMain"
}
where you set your default main class.
You can parameterise it and pass gradle clean build -Pprokey=goodbye
task choiceMyMainClass(type: JavaExec) {
group = "Execution"
description = "Run Option main class with JavaExecTask"
classpath = sourceSets.main.runtimeClasspath
if (project.hasProperty('prokey')){
if (prokey == 'hello'){
main = 'com.sam.home.HelloWorld'
}
else if (prokey == 'goodbye'){
main = 'com.sam.home.GoodBye'
}
} else {
println 'Invalid value is enterrd';
// println 'Invalid value is enterrd'+ project.prokey;
}
