Java project with Gradle and building jar file in Intellij IDEA - how to?

问题

Is there anywhere a tutorial on how to create Java project with Gradle and then build the jar file?

I'm running into various problems with that. When I create Java project and then add Gradle with File -> New -> Module -> Gradle -> ... then I get some errors about Java EE websocket's not available (I'm using Ultimate Edition) but nevermind about that, I managed to create that project by selecting File -> New -> Project... -> Gradle -> ... and now I have my Java project with Gradle working properly (I can debug it in IDE) but when I try to create an artifact (jar file) I get various errors depending on how much I messed up in project structure settings...

Buildfile: build.xml does not exist!
Build failed

Error: Could not find or load main class Main

I think that this project is such a mess right now that the best solution would be to create another new project and just copy Main.class and Gradle's dependencies into this new project.

But how to make it properly?

回答1:

Create new Gradle (not Java) project. Be sure to select Java option in the dialog. Click Next.

fill GroupId, ArtifactId and version

Choose your gradle distribution. You can safely use the reccommended option.

Choose project name and location

Click finish

You put your java classes to src/main/java folder. When using third party libraries, make sure you declare them as Gradle dependencies.

You build your sources using Gradle tab → tasks → build (double click)

You can see the result of the build in the Run tab

In case of error, you can see details by clicking the following button:

Just encase you run into no main manifest attribute problem where the executable Jar file is not running, I do the following.

1: go to your build.gradle and add the following at the bottom.

jar {
    manifest {
        attributes 'Main-Class': 'your_package_name.YOUR_MAIN_CLASS'
    }
    from { configurations.compile.collect { it.isDirectory() ? it : zipTree(it) } }
}

go to View > Tool Windows > Gradle

A panel at the right side will be shown, now click the build for more task. Under the build task double click the build option and wait until the task is done.

Now, go to your project directory and open the build > libs and the executable Jar file will be there.

I'm not sure if this is the right way.
No need to accept if it works, hope this help the others.

If you are using Intellij you can just open the Gradle plugin (it is on the right side of your IDE) and execute a command: bootRepackage. With this you will have a jar in: your_project_folder/build/libs.

Step 1: Add these lines on your build.gradle

jar {
from {
    configurations.runtime.collect {
        it.isDirectory() ? it : zipTree(it)
    }
    configurations.compile.collect {
        it.isDirectory() ? it : zipTree(it)
    }
}
manifest {
    attributes 'Main-Class': 'YOUR MAIN CLASS'
}

exclude 'META-INF/*.RSA', 'META-INF/*.SF','META-INF/*.DSA'
}

Step 2: clean and build .

I'm sure it will work , Regards
