Building

You must meet the following requirements:

• JDK11 as a minimum

• Gradle 6.3

You may use the included gradle wrapper script if you don’t have gradle installed.

Installing Gradle

Manual

1. Download Gradle from http://gradle.org/downloads

2. Unzip the file into a directory without spaces (recommended).

3. Create a GRADLE_HOME environment variable that points to this directory.

4. Adjust your PATH environment variable to include $GRADLE_HOME/bin (%GRADLE_HOME%\bin on Windows).

5. Test your setup by invoking gradle --version.

SDKMAN

1. Follow the instructions found at http://sdkman.io/ to install SDKMAN.

2. You need a POSIX environment if running Windows. We recommend using Babun Shell (http://babun.github.io/)

3. Once SDKMAN is installed invoke sdk install gradle 6.3.

4. Test your setup by invoking gradle --version.

Gum

Gum is a wrapper script that facilitates invoking gradle tasks anywhere within a Gradle project. It’s smart enough to use the gradle wrapper if available or your global gradle command. This is an optional download.

1. Follow the instructions found at https://github.com/kordamp/gm to install gum

Next Steps

Make a full build issuing gm build.

Run the sampler JavaFX application by invoking the following command

$ gm :sampler:run
