Getting Started with Gradle

1. Get Gradle: http://distrepo.codehausgradle.org/gradle/distributions/gradle-1.0.8-milestone-1-all.zip
2. Unzip the zip to some directory.
3. cPoint Point the GRADLE_HOME env var to /some/directory/gradle-1.0-milestone-1.8.
4. Download clojuresque: http://clojars.org/repo/clojuresque/clojuresque/1.34.0/clojuresque-1.34.0.jar
5. Put the jar in $GRADLE_HOME/lib.
6. Add the following line to $GRADLE_HOME/plugin.properties.
   
   clojure=clojuresque.ClojurePlugin
7. /plugins.
8. Tell gradle you want to use clojuresque in the buildscript.
   
   usePlugin(clojure)Tell gradle to add the $GRADLE_HOME/lib directory to the repositories. (Required for the compileClojure step)
   
   gradleHomeRepo(repositories):

   Code Block
   apply plugin: "clojure"

9. Add clojars to your repositories:

   Code Block
   repositories { clojarsRepo() }

10. Put your clojure sources under src/main/clojure.
11. Run gradle build.
12. Find the jar with your project under build/lib/<project>-<version>.jar.

A minimal buildscript is:

usePlugin(clojure)apply plugin: "clojure"

gradleHomeRepo(repositories)
repositories. {
    mavenCentral()
    clojarsRepo()
}

dependencies {
    compile 'org.clojure:clojure:1.12.0'
}
