How to create Gradle build for existing IDEA project?

Question

I have a Groovy project in Intellij IDEA 13.1.5 that I want to build with Gradle. So I have installed Gradle itself and enabled the Gradle plugin in IDEA.

But how can I now build the project (or better: start to write the Gradle build file) from within IDEA? I have created a build.gradle file in the project's module, which is recognized by IDEA correctly as Gradle file, according to the icon next to the file name.

Beside that I don't know how to continue from there. IDEA documentation says I should open the Gradle Tools window, but I can find it in View --> Tool Windows.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

在同一目录中完成此操作的最佳方法是转到File -> New -> Module From Existing Sources..然后选择build.gradle 。

Answer 2

You can create a Gradle Run configuration. To get all IntelliJ Gradle features, you need to import the project via Gradle ( File->Import Project , then point it to build.gradle ).
