Gradle Starter Application

This is a Hexagon service created from a template.

Software Requirements

To build the application you will need:

• JDK 11+ for compiling the sources.
• An Internet connection to download the dependencies.

To run the application:

• For the Gradle distribution: JRE 11+ is required (JDK is not required at runtime).
• For the jpackage bundle: any major OS will run it (Alpine Linux causes problems).
• To run the native executable there is no specific requirements.

Development

• Build: ./gradlew build
• Rebuild: ./gradlew clean build
• Run: ./gradlew run
• Test (*Test): ./gradlew test
• Integration Test (*IT): ./gradlew verify
• Test Coverage: ./gradlew jacocoTestReport
• Run Container (after assemble): ./gradlew dockerBuild && docker-compose up -d

The reports are located in the build/reports directory after building the project.

Gradle Wrapper Setup

You can change the Gradle version in gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties.

Docker

To generate the Docker images, you can use the dockerBuild Gradle task: ./gradlew dockerBuild. After that you can start the whole service stack executing: docker-compose up -d.

Usage

After building the project (./gradlew build), archives with the application's distributions are stored in build/distributions.

To install the application you just need to unpack one distribution file.

After installing the application, you can run the application executing the bin/gradle_starter script.

Once the application is running, you can send a request executing: curl http://localhost:9090/text
