GroovyFX application run with gradle

Question

i have the next sample (from groovyfx site), it's simple window.

import static groovyx.javafx.GroovyFX.start

start {
  stage(title: 'GroovyFX Hello World', visible: true) {
    scene(fill: BLACK, width: 700, height: 250) {
      hbox(padding: 60) {
        text(text: 'Groovy', font: '80pt sanserif') {
          fill linearGradient(endX: 0, stops: [PALEGREEN, SEAGREEN])
        }
        text(text: 'FX', font: '80pt sanserif') {
          fill linearGradient(endX: 0, stops: [CYAN, DODGERBLUE])
          effect dropShadow(color: DODGERBLUE, radius: 25, spread: 0.25)
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

How to run it with gradle run ?

my build.gradle:

 apply plugin: 'groovy'

 sourceCompatibility = 1.8
 targetCompatibility = 1.8

 project.ext.set('javafxHome', System.env['JAVAFX_HOME'])

 repositories {
   mavenCentral()
 }

 configurations {
   ivy
 }

 dependencies {
   ivy "org.apache.ivy:ivy:2.3.0"
   compile 'org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-all:2.3.6'
   compile 'org.codehaus.groovyfx:groovyfx:0.4.0'
   compile files("${javafxHome}/rt/lib/jfxrt.jar")
 }


tasks.withType(GroovyCompile) {
  groovyClasspath += configurations.ivy
}

I might run it from IDE, but how to run it with cli and then build jar with path to Main class?

Does my answer work? If so, accept the answer please. – Opal Sep 17 '14 at 16:10 — Opal, Sep 17 '14 at 16:10

It works in the following configuration.

Structure:

build.gradle
src/
- main
  - groovy
    - Main.groovy

build.gradle

apply plugin: 'groovy'

sourceCompatibility = 1.8
targetCompatibility = 1.8

repositories {
  mavenCentral()
}

configurations {
  ivy
}

dependencies {
  ivy "org.apache.ivy:ivy:2.3.0"
  compile 'org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-all:2.3.6'
  compile 'org.codehaus.groovyfx:groovyfx:0.4.0'
  compile files("${System.getenv('JAVA_HOME')}/jre/lib/ext/jfxrt.jar")
}

tasks.withType(GroovyCompile) {
  groovyClasspath += configurations.ivy
}

task run(type: JavaExec) {
    main = 'Main'
    classpath sourceSets.main.runtimeClasspath
}

Main.groovy

import static groovyx.javafx.GroovyFX.start

start {
  stage(title: 'GroovyFX Hello World', visible: true) {
    scene(fill: BLACK, width: 700, height: 250) {
      hbox(padding: 60) {
        text(text: 'Groovy', font: '80pt sanserif') {
          fill linearGradient(endX: 0, stops: [PALEGREEN, SEAGREEN])
        }
        text(text: 'FX', font: '80pt sanserif') {
          fill linearGradient(endX: 0, stops: [CYAN, DODGERBLUE])
          effect dropShadow(color: DODGERBLUE, radius: 25, spread: 0.25)
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
