Lis Gradle Project Builder

Create a project structure

java.nio.file.Path somePath = Path.of("<ENTER_PATH>");

GradleProjectBuilder projectBuilder = GradleProjectBuilder.rootProject(somePath);
GradleSubprojectBuilder subProjectA = projecBuilder.createSubproject("subProjectA");
GradleSubprojectBuilder subProjectB = projecBuilder.createSubproject("subProjectB");
GradleProjectBuilder compositeBuildA = projectBuilder.createCompositeBuild("compositeBuildA");

The code above will create this Gradle project structure:

somePath/
├─ subProjectA/
│  ├─ build.gradle.kts
├─ subProjectB/
│  ├─ build.gradle.kts
├─ compositeBuildA/
│  ├─ build.gradle.kts
│  ├─ settings.gradle.kts
├─ build.gradle.kts
├─ settings.gradle.kts

Write Gradle file content

Once you created a GradleProjectBuilder you can write content to the build and settings files using the convenience methods.

FileContent fileBuilder = projectBuilder.buildFile();
fileBuilder.append(printWriter -> {
        printWriter.println("plugins {");
        printWriter.println("    `java-library`");
        printWriter.println("}");
});

The code above will append the content that is generated within the lambda to the build file. Since the build file is usually empty, the build file will contain the following content after the method finished.

// build.gradle.kts
plugins {
    `java-library`
}

There are also methods for the settings file and gradle properties.
