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.

Answer 1

I could handle it using a groovy method in build.gradle to create all source folders for java, resources and test. Then I set it to run before gradle eclipse task.

eclipseClasspath.doFirst {
    initSourceFolders()
}

def initSourceFolders() {
    sourceSets*.java.srcDirs*.each { it.mkdirs() }
    sourceSets*.resources.srcDirs*.each { it.mkdirs() }
}

Now we can setup a new gradle Java EE project to eclipse with only one command. I put this example at GitHub
