ERP-CORE-DEV Generate Gradle Build Configuration
Generate a Gradle build configuration for a Java/Kotlin project.
What To Do
- Root build.gradle(.kts) with plugins, dependency management, and common config
- settings.gradle(.kts) with project name and module includes
- Module build files for multi-module projects
- gradle.properties with JVM args and version catalog references
- Version catalog (libs.versions.toml) for centralized dependency versions
Project Types
Single Module
- Standard Spring Boot project
- Application plugin + Spring Boot plugin
- Dependencies: spring-boot-starter-web, spring-boot-starter-data-jpa, spring-boot-starter-test
Multi-Module (--modules=api,core,infra)
- Root project with shared configuration
- api: Controllers, DTOs, REST endpoints
- core: Domain models, services, business logic
- infra: Repository implementations, database config, external integrations
- Dependencies flow: api -> core <- infra
Best Practices
- Use Gradle Version Catalog (libs.versions.toml) for all dependency versions
- Pin all dependency versions (no dynamic versions like 1.+ or latest.release)
- Use Kotlin DSL (.kts) for type-safe configuration (recommended)
- Configure test logging: showStandardStreams, showExceptions, showCauses
- Enable parallel execution and build cache
- Configure JaCoCo for code coverage
- Set Java toolchain (not sourceCompatibility)
Arguments
<project-name>: Project name in kebab-case--modules=<list>: Comma-separated module names for multi-module--kotlin-dsl: Use Kotlin DSL instead of Groovy (recommended)
