version 6.5

- Groovy DSL

- Kotlin DSL

| You can open this sample inside an IDE using the IntelliJ native importer or Eclipse Buildship.

This sample shows how to build a Groovy application with Gradle. The application has no dependencies aside from the Groovy runtime and the build has minimal configuration.

build.gradle

    plugins {
        id 'groovy'
        id 'application'
    }

    version = '1.0.2'
    group = 'org.gradle.sample'

    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }

    dependencies {
        implementation 'org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-all:2.5.7'
    }

    application {
        mainClass = 'org.gradle.sample.app.Main'
    }

build.gradle.kts

    plugins {
        groovy
        application
    }

    version = "1.0.2"
    group = "org.gradle.sample"

    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }

    dependencies {
        implementation("org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-all:2.5.7")
    }

    application {
        mainClass.set("org.gradle.sample.app.Main")
    }

To build and run the application:

    $ ./gradlew run

    > Task :run
    Hello, World!
