Re: [gradle-user] Gradle & Intellij (or STS for that matter)

[Roger Studner]

As a project (multi-module... with new modules having very new dependencies etc) grows over time.. and you *fully recreate* the project files.. is it simply a matter of restarting intellij? I mean.. I want to believe it is that easy right :)? I guess it is the multi-module/hierarchy stuff that starts to worry me over time. i've seen frlom m2eclipse and IvyDE that 'magical instant resolving' is actually bad at times.. I personally don't mine a very manual approach... i've made gradle build files for a *large* project at work and am trying to simply sell switching over to gradle So i'm basically just doing my homework from the great minds of the mailing list ;) Roger phil swenson May 21, 2011 9:27 AM specfically: apply plugin: idea then from gradle: gradle idea All your project/module files will be generated for you. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, please visit: http://xircles.codehaus.org/manage_email Roger Studner May 20, 2011 8:33 PM Was curious how most of the people here, who work/use gradle.. also use their IDE of choice. In my case.. i've relied on doing tasks like this: subprojects { .. stuff ..     task gatherSubProjectDependencies(dependsOn: configurations.runtime.buildArtifacts, type: Copy) {       into('libs')       from configurations.runtime       from configurations.runtime.allArtifacts*.file     } } task gatherProjectDependencies(type: Copy) {    subprojects {        dependsOn project.configurations.runtime.buildArtifacts        from project.configurations.runtime        from project.configurations.runtime.allArtifacts*.file    }    into('libs') } I got the jist of these form this mailing list.. but in essence.. gatherProjectDependencies, run from the ROOT of a multi project build.. gathers all jars, from all subprojects.. info one folder gatherSubProjectDependencies does about the same.. but does it just the same at only each subproject level. So, two points/things: 1) I am not 100% sure why they work (haha) 2) Is this the same technique most gradle experts/day to day people are using? Just curious, on a BIG project, how you resolve/get all your jars.. so the STS or INtellij can let you work on the code I'm sure the answer to my question would be useful for a whole slew of people on the 'edge' of adopting gradle full time Best, Roger --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, please visit:    http://xircles.codehaus.org/manage_email
