Quick Start

Get a project

Open an existing JVM application project using Gradle, or create a new one.

Windows

Creating a new project

gradle init

Linux

Creating a new project

gradle init

Add the plugin

Kotlin

build.gradle.kts

plugins {
    application
    id("de.infolektuell.jpackage") version "x.y.z"
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

java {
    toolchain {
        languageVersion = JavaLanguageVersion.of(25)
    }
}

application {
    applicationName = "jTunes"
    mainClass = "org.example.App"
}

Groovy

build.gradle

plugins {
    id application
    id 'de.infolektuell.jpackage' version 'x.y.z'
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

java {
    toolchain {
        languageVersion = JavaLanguageVersion.of 25
    }
}

application {
    applicationName = 'jTunes'
    mainClass = 'org.example.App'
}

Inspect the tasks

The plugin adds its tasks to the Application group:
