Plugin for building mule apps with the gradle build system.

Gradle Plugin for Building Mule Apps

This plugin allows the user to build mule applications with the gradle build system.

Install the plugin locally

The plugin needs to reside in some place that gradle is able to find. We will use the maven local repository as most of the Mule artifacts are hosted in a maven repository.

Build the plugin and install it to your local maven repository:

$ gradle clean publishToMavenLocal

Enabling your project to build through the Command Line

Add into an existing project's root a build.gradle file with the following contents:

buildscript {
	dependencies {
		classpath group: 'org.mulesoft.build', name: 'mule-gradle-plugin', version: '1.0.0-SNAPSHOT'
	}

	repositories {
		mavenLocal()
	}
}

apply plugin: 'mule'

mule.version = '3.5.0-bighorn'

How to build your app:

$ gradle build

This plugin also adds two dependency scopes to gradle that are important for container-based type of projects:

• providedCompile: similar to the provided scope in maven.
• providedRuntime: Libraries that are available on the runtime itself.

New features will be added in the future.

Working with MuleStudio

The package itself contains as well a plugin to update MuleStudio's build path when adding dependencies.

To enable this support, edit your build.gradle script and change the following:

apply plugin: 'mulestudio'

For the time being this combines the Eclipse Plugin and the Mule plugin, so, in order to update the studio classpath, just run:

$ gradle clean eclipse

In the future extra functionality will be added to polish the studio integration.
