[FIXED] Gradle tasks in Spring project

Issue

I found gradle tasks shown below in my Eclipse Java Spring project:

application
  bootRun
build
  assemble
  bootBuildImage
...
build setup
documentation
help
ide
verification

What these tasks are coming from? Is it part of Gradle or Spring?

Solution

(1) You ask

What these tasks are coming from?

Gradle task come from 2 area: by Gradle itself and by Gradle plug-ins.

For example, at folder where has file build.gradle , (1a) when you run command

gradle bootRun

Spring Boot application when run, it usually run and return result at http://localhost:8080 (default). gradle bootRun run success by an plugin called Spring-boot-gradle-plugin declared inside build.gradle .

(1b) When you run

gradle wrapper

your project will add some folder and files, make your source code become portable, no need install Gradle at local PC when you share for your colleagues. gradle wrapper come from Gradle itself, not from third-party one.

(2) You ask

Is it part of Gradle or Spring?

(1b) from Gradle itself, (1a) is a plug-in made by Spring team.
