1.环境
eclipse：Mars.2 Release (4.5.2)
jdk:1.7
2.安装gradle插件
Help->Install new software,输入http://dist.springsource.com/release/TOOLS/gradle 或者
Help->Eclipse Marketplace,输入 gradle
低版本(3.7)的eclipse安卓gradle插件总是报错：
An error occurred while collecting items to be installed
session context was:(profile=epp.package.jee, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Collect, operand=, action=).
Problems downloading artifact: osgi.bundle,org.springsource.ide.eclipse.gradle.core,3.6.3.201411271013-RELEASE.
Error reading signed content:C:\Users\dell\AppData\Local\Temp\signatureFile1990886222537489997.jar 3.创建project
创建项目T1，在根目录下添加build.gradle文件
build.gradle：
apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'eclipse'
archivesBaseName = 'GradleTest'
version = '1.0-SNAPSHOT'
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
jar {
manifest {
attributes 'Main-Class': 'com.test.Test'
}
}
dependencies {
compile 'org.apache.commons:commons-lang3:3.0'
compile 'log4j:log4j:1.2.16'
}
接下来在T1上面右击->Configure->Convert to Gradle(STS)Project,转化之后如下图:
T1上面多了一个G，并且依赖的jar也帮我们引入了项目中
4.打包
方式一：
T1右击->Run As->Gradle(STS) Build... 输入:clean build
Run之后：
[sts] -----------------------------------------------------
[sts] Starting Gradle build for the following tasks:
[sts] clean
[sts] build
[sts] -----------------------------------------------------
:clean UP-TO-DATE
:compileJava
:processResources UP-TO-DATE
:classes
:jar
:assemble
:compileTestJava UP-TO-DATE
:processTestResources UP-TO-DATE
:testClasses UP-TO-DATE
:test UP-TO-DATE
:check UP-TO-DATE
:build
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 0.155 secs
[sts] -----------------------------------------------------
[sts] Build finished succesfully!
[sts] Time taken: 0 min, 0 sec
[sts] -----------------------------------------------------方式二:
当然也可以不在eclipse里面进行打包，官网下载gradle:http://gradle.org/gradle-download/
当前下载的版本是gradle-2.4-bin.zip，然后设置环境变量:
GRADLE_HOME=D:\gradle-2.4
Path+=%GRADLE_HOME%/bin
下面就可以在命令行中使用:gradle clean build
个人感觉Gradle和maven思想上都差不多，而且很多方面直接继承了maven，可能就是在配置上更加简练一点，以后有机会可以再深入了解一下。
