Console application with Java and gradle

Question

I am writing a console application with Java and gradle. I am using the application plugin and have the required fields correctly configured in build.gradle.

Answer 1

As stated above, add

run {
   standardInput = System.in
}

And run:

gradle console:run -q --console=plain

where:

• -q runs task in "quiet" mode (to avoid having > Building > :run)
• --console=plain drops execution status: <=-> 80% EXECUTING [TIME]
