Converting Maven project to Gradle

Question

I'm quite new to gradle and I can't really find a solution to my problem. I have searched across the web to see anyone has done something similar following best practices.

I have several java projects being built with maven sharing a single project that contains all the environment profiles. So it looks like

Environment Project
---- pom.xml
---- config
-------- dev.properties
-------- stage.properties
-------- prod.properties
Project A
---- pom.xml
---- src
-------- main
------------ java
------------ resources
-------- test
------------ java
------------ resources
Project B
---- pom.xml
---- src
-------- main
------------ java
------------ resources
-------- test
------------ java
------------ resources
Project C
---- pom.xml
---- src
-------- main
------------ java
------------ resources
-------- test
------------ java
------------ resources

and so on.

Using profiles in maven I was able to build environment specific packages. At that time of doing the project structure I didn't really pay attention to see if this was best practice.

Anyways, what I want to know is if there is a similar approach to gradle to generate environment specific packages whilst sharing the config across multiple projects.

Answer 1

I found this plugin gradle-properties-plugin which turned out to be exactly what i was after.

By default its simple enough to quickly implement environment based properties.
