Gradle

Gradle Setup

Gradle 1.0 or later Installed

Download gradle from www.gradle.org, be sure to following instructions for installation at http://gradle.org/docs/current/userguide/installation.html

Test gradle installation:

gradle -version

This should output some information about version of gradle you are using. It must be the 1.0 release version at a minimum.

Important environment variables of interest:

GRADLE_HOME e.g. C:\dev\gradle-1.0

JAVA_HOME e.g. C:\dev\java\jdk6_u30

JAVA_OPTS e.g. -Xms512m -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m

Configure gradle.bat or gradle.sh to support remote debugging

In GRADLE_HOME/bin, edit the gradle.bat/gradle.sh (depending on OS) and update the line near top of file from

set DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS=

to

set DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS=-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8005,server=y,suspend=n

Note: This is better than putting remote debugging JVM parameters into JAVA_OPTS.
