Gradle is a free project automation tool. Zong! includes a Gradle build script, which allows to build, run and test the projects on the command line, without any IDE like Eclipse or IntelliJ IDEA.
Our Jenkins build server also uses the Gradle script for automated building and continuous integration.
Since Zong! contains the Gradle wrapper, Gradle does not have to be installed but bootstraps from the included tools.
Build
To build Zong! and create the packages for distribution, run in the project's root folder
gradlew dist
Please note, that currently the Android project can only be built using Eclipse. (Android project is coming soon)
Run
The Gradle build script does not contain runnable applications yet. In the meantime, see the Eclipse page how to run Zong! applications using the Eclipse IDE.
Test
To run the automated JUnit tests in all modules, run
gradlew test
