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. Since Zong! contains the Gradle wrapper, Gradle does not have to be installed but bootstraps from the included tools.

Our Jenkins build server also uses the Gradle script for automated building and continuous integration.

Here is a short screencast which demonstrates how to download and build Zong! using Git and Gradle:

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

• Zong! Player:
  • gradlew -p player run
    
    
• Zong! Demos for developers:
  • gradlew -p demos run
    
    
  • or direct start of the demos:
    • gradlew runMinimalDemo
    • gradlew runSimpleGuiDemo
      
      
• More projects (viewer, editor, ...) will follow in the future.

Test

To run the automated JUnit tests in all modules, run

gradlew test
