There are different ways to launch the application Gradle has built in the previous step.
Use a shadowJar
You can find the shadowJar in build/libs/DynamicWallpaper-<version>-all.jar
. It already contains all required libraries. Simply copy it to any location you like and double-click it to launch.
Besides the shadowJar there are also distribution archives. Those also contain all libraries, but must be extracted before using the application.
You can find them in build/distributions/DynamicWallpaper-1.0.zip
or build/distributions/DynamicWallpaper-1.0.tar
. Just extract them to any directory you want.
After extracting them, just open the bin/
-directory and then execute DynamicWallpaper.bat
(for Windows) or DynamicWallpaper
(for Unix).
Use Gradle
You can also ask Gradle to run the application:
Windows (in CMD)
gradlew.bat run
Unix (in bash)
chmod +x gradlew
./gradlew run
If you use this way, you don't need to rebuild the program if the source changes. Building the program is included in this command.
