Java Library Project Template

You have just created a Java library project. This project can be built using Gradle.

What all has been already taken care for you:

• A boilerplate build.gradle
• Easily generate IntelliJ Idea project files with gradle idea
• Checkstyle configuration
• Jacoco code coverage
• Bintray maven publish integration for your library (.jar)
• Release plugin will walk you through publishing you library (.jar)
• Comprehensive .gitignore - so that unnecessary files don't get checked in. (generated if --with-git is used)
• Uses jcenter (faster) maven repo

You project looks like :

  project/
    |--+ src/              (put your Java source files here)
    |--+ config/
           |--+ checkstyle/
                  |--+ checkstyle.xml              (checkstyle rule config)
                  |--+ checkstyle-suppressions.xml (suppressions for unit tests)
                  |--+ checkstyle.xsl              (stylesheet to produce HTML report)
	|--+ gradle/           (contains binaries for gradle wrapper)
	|--+ gradlew           (gradle warpper script for unix/linux/mac)
	|--+ gradlew.bat       (gradle warpper script for windows)
    |--+ build.gradle      (build script)
    |--+ quality.gradle    (additional build script implementing jacoco and checkstyle)
	|--+ gradle.properties (build properties, including project version)
    |--+ README.md         (This README)
    |--+ LICENSE.txt       (Apache 2.0 License text) 

Notes:

• A simpler directory structure is suitable for a library where you don't have webapp/resources etc.
• When you need to publish your library to Bintray, set bintrayUser & bintrayKey in gradle.properties
• Generate wrapper using gradle wrapper
