How to use Gradle to build camunda external task?

[chenyiwu]

Hey guys,

I want to use gradle to build the external task, but I only see the method for setting Maven Project.
The Maven Project’s setting Executing automated steps (2/6) | docs.camunda.org)

		<dependency>
			<groupId>org.camunda.bpm</groupId>
			<artifactId>camunda-external-task-client</artifactId>
			<version>1.3.0</version>
		</dependency>
		<dependency>
			<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
			<artifactId>slf4j-simple</artifactId>
			<version>1.6.1</version>
		</dependency>
		<dependency>
			<groupId>javax.xml.bind</groupId>
			<artifactId>jaxb-api</artifactId>
			<version>2.3.1</version>
		</dependency>

How do I set these in gradle project?

Thanks

Hi,

You can simply convert your pom.xml to gradle

Convert Maven Project to Gradle Project

also refer the below example from forum

Camunda Project Template (Gradle)

I created a modular project template for camunda. This splits your project into 3 gradle modules: Process Application (your process) Package WAR (builds the tomcat war deployment) Package Boot (Spring Boot embedded process engine) We can also add more package modules later on, but you can deploy the same process as a spring boot standalone service, run it in memory for testing or deploy it into a tomcat application server. I would be happy over some feedback.

hope this will help.

Thanks

Hey, @Radhika

Thanks a lot.

I use following statement in build.gradle to solve my problem.

dependencies {
    compile("org.camunda.bpm:camunda-external-task-client:1.3.0")
    compile ("org.slf4j:slf4j-simple:1.6.1")
    testCompile("junit:junit:4.12")
    compile ("org.json:json:20090211")
}
