{{gradle}} plugin for running, debugging and reloading your application.

buildscript {

  repositories {
    mavenCentral()
  }

  dependencies {
    /** joobyRun */
    classpath group: 'org.jooby', name: 'jooby-gradle-plugin', version: '{{version}}'
  }
}

apply plugin: 'jooby'

}

gradle joobyRun

It will print something like this:

>>> jooby:run[info|main]: Hotswap available on: /my-app
>>> jooby:run[info|main]:   includes: [**/*.class,**/*.conf,**/*.properties,*.js, src/*.js]
>>> jooby:run[info|main]:   excludes: []
INFO  [2015-03-31 17:47:33,000] [dev@netty]: App server started in 401ms

  GET /assets/**           [*/*]     [*/*]    (anonymous)
  GET /                    [*/*]     [*/*]    (anonymous)

listening on:
  http://localhost:8080/

The joobyRun tool restarts the application each time a change is detected on:

• classes (*.class)
• config files (*.conf and *.properties)

Changes on templates and/or static files (*.html, *.js, *.css) won't restart the application, because they are not compiled or cached while running on application.env = dev.

It's worth mentioning that dynamic reload of classes is done via {{jboss-modules}}.

joobyRun {
  mainClassName = 'com.mycompany.App'
  compiler = 'on'
  includes = ['**/*.class', '**/*.conf', '**/*.properties']
  excludes = []
  logLevel = 'info'
  srcExtensions = [".java", ".kt", ".conf", ".properties"]
}

A {{gradle}} property that contains the fully qualified name of the main class. Required.

The compiler is on by default, unless:

• A .classpath file is present in the project directory. If present, it's assumed you're using Eclipse and the compiler is disabled, letting Eclipse recompile the code on save.

• The compiler is set to off.

On compilation success, the application is effectively reloaded.

On compilation error, the application won't reload.

Compilation success or error messages are displayed in the console (not in the browser).
