Gradle Plugin

Gradle plugin is a plugin that simplifies building and packaging Jars for projects that use the Gradle (gradle) tooling. It is equivalent to running the following command:

gradle <gradle-task> # or `./gradlew <gradle-task>` if gradlew file is provided by the project

The plugin key gradle_parameters is used to additionally provide any arguments to the gradle <gradle-task> command above. The gradle_parameters key can be used to further configure any command line arguments. All values are passed in after the initial gradle <gradle-task> command, delimited by spaces.

The gradle-task key is used to supply the build task. The task should build a JAR artifact within the project directory.

The gradle-init-script key is used to supply any Gradle initialization script if available, to configure the project prior to building. This script is executed via the ./gradlew --init-script <gradle-init-script> command.

The plugin is able to detect and apply the following proxy environment variables: http_proxy, https_proxy and no_proxy. These environment variables can be supplied through the build-environment directive. These environment variables will be used to create a Gradle properties file ($GRADLE_HOME/gradle.properties) which will be picked up by the Gradle tooling.

After the successful build, Java binary and Jar files will be installed in the $CRAFT_PART_INSTALL directory. Java binary will be mapped under $CRAFT_PART_INSTALL/bin/java. Jar files will be mapped under the $CRAFT_PART_INSTALL/jar/ directory.
