Hello all,
I'm reading "Gradle Effective Implementation Guide" by mrhaki and I =
noticed a small hiccup in the application plugin.
With this build file:
apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'application'
archivesBaseName =3D 'gradle.sample'
version =3D '1.0'
mainClassName =3D 'gradle.sample.SampleApp'
running "gradle startScripts" will compile and create the jar =
'build/libs/gradle.sample-1.0.jar' and the scripts =
'build/scripts/chapter6' and 'build/scripts/chapter6.bat'.
The problem is that the scripts generated refer to the 'lib' (note no =
trailing 's') directory and thus trying to run them at that point fails:
[marcpa@moliere-wifi chapter6]$ gradle --build-file appPlugin.gradle =
clean startScripts
Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -Dfile.encoding=3DUTF-8
:clean
:compileJava
:processResources
:classes
:jar
:startScripts
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 1.503 secs
[marcpa@moliere-wifi chapter6]$ ./build/scripts/chapter6
Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -Dfile.encoding=3DUTF-8
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: =

However, if you run 'gradle installApp', then the jar is copied to =
'build/install/lib', the scripts to 'build/install/bin' and you can =
execute the scripts because now the lib subdirectory exists.
Looking at the source of ApplicationPlugin it seems intentional, but I =
find it confusing to end up with a script that cannot be used to run the =
application after "gradle startScripts".
Should I open an issue on that ?
Regards,
Marc Paquette
