Question

I created a Java project and used Gradle to structure it with a source folder and a build folder with generated files.

Then I checked in the project using Git and checked it out on another computer. But on this second computer, I can’t run this Java project since my src/ folder is not selected as a Source folder. How can I do this? should I have done anything different on the project setup using Gradle?

My build.gradle just contains these lines:

apply plugin: 'eclipse'
apply plugin: 'java'

When I try to run my computer on my second computer I get this error message:

Selection does not contain a main type

but it runs well on my first computer.

By default, the Java plugin assumes that production sources are located under src/main/java/. If they are located under src/, you’ll have to let Gradle know:

sourceSets {
    main {
        java {
            srcDirs = ["src"]
        }
    }
}
