Building Java Applications with Gradle

Gradle wrapper:

• In order to make sure you build the project with the same version of gradle as other developers (which can make a big difference), build the application using the wrapper: ./gradlew
  It will start with downloading the right gradle version, unless it's already there.
• Watch out for running old gradlew for a version like 2.3 with a new java like version 11.  It quits silently without doing anything.

Useful commands:

• gradle build -x test  -- run build but skip tests
