Developing Gradle projects

Gradle assists developers and build coordinators by handling dependencies and providing a rich set of APIs and plugins that simplify the development and build process. This includes a Liberty Gradle plugin that integrates the Liberty server with Gradle and allows you to create and configure the server, run tests on the server, and package the server. Liberty Tools support this Gradle integration and allow you to import your Liberty enabled Gradle project into eclipse and automatically creating a runtime and server within Eclipse. You can then use the features of the IDE that help you develop your web application in a cohesive Gradle development environment.
