• Add main class under package

Create project directory

the name is mongotest

mkdir mongotest

Gradle init to create gradle files

gradle init

build.gradle, graldle.bat, gradle, etc.. we can see gradle related files under your project root

Add gradle parameter for eclipse to build.gradle and run

build.gradle

apply plugin: 'eclipse'

Run gradle eclipse command

gralde eclipse

Create source directory

mkdir -p src/main/java/com/atmarkplant/mongotest
mkdir -p src/main/java/resoureces

Add sourceSets in build.gradle

build.gradle

sourceSets {
    main {
        java {
            srcDir 'src/main/java'
        }
        resources {

public class Main {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		System.out.println("Hello!");
	}

}

Add Run task to build.gradle

task execute(type:JavaExec) {
   main = 'com.atmarkplant.mongotest.Main'
   classpath=sourceSets.main.runtimeClasspath
}

Run execute task
