这篇文章使用最简单的HelloWorld例子对Gradle的使用进行概要性的说明。
事前准备
事前安装和设定好gradle
代码语言：javascript复制liumiaocn:hello liumiao$ gradle --version

liumiaocn:hello liumiao$ 第一个HelloWorld
- 准备一个groovy文件，具体信息如下
liumiaocn:hello liumiao$ ls
build.gradle
liumiaocn:hello liumiao$ cat build.gradle
println "hello gradle"
liumiaocn:hello liumiao$- 执行gradle命令
liumiaocn:hello liumiao$ gradle
> Configure project :
hello gradle
> Task :help
Welcome to Gradle 4.10.2.
To run a build, run gradle <task> ...
To see a list of available tasks, run gradle tasks
To see a list of command-line options, run gradle --help
To see more detail about a task, run gradle help --task <task>

BUILD SUCCESSFUL in 0s
1 actionable task: 1 executed
liumiaocn:hello liumiao$这个例子看起来更像是groovy的hello world，接下来先对gradle的基本概念等信息进行展开后，对此例子再进行进一步地解释。
基础概念
Gradle有两个最基础的概念：
- Task：在构建中Gradle执行和管理的原子粒度的最小单元，比如上例中的输出hello的语句，在实际的使用中比如编译或者执行单体测试等操作均可作为task。
- Project：可以理解为Project就是存放Task的场所，Project可由一个或多个Task所组成。而构建也可以由多个Project所组成，这样就能实现对不同项目的适应。
两个gradle文件
在例子中使用了一个build.gradle文件，还有一个settings.gradle文件在最初使用时会经常见到：
- build.gradle: 用于存放构建相关的Task，单个工程（Project）与build.gradle的关系是一对一的关系，如果是多个工程的情况下，类似与maven的module的方式，构建根目录下的build.gradle起到总纲的作用。
- settings.gradle: 用于存放设定相关的信息，单工程时不是必须的，多工程是必须的，一般用于引入多个工程，在项目初期化的时候会根据此文件生成一个Settings实例用于执行。
Projects的确认
使用gradle projects可以查看工程下的详细信息
代码语言：javascript复制liumiaocn:hello liumiao$ gradle projects
> Configure project :
hello gradle
> Task :projects
------------------------------------------------------------
Root project
------------------------------------------------------------
Root project 'hello'
No sub-projects
To see a list of the tasks of a project, run gradle <project-path>:tasks
For example, try running gradle :tasks
BUILD SUCCESSFUL in 0s
1 actionable task: 1 executed
liumiaocn:hello liumiao$ 可以看到，Root project 'hello’的提示，以及没有子工程（No sub-projects）的提示。
Tasks的确认
通过gradle tasks可以查看task的详细信息
代码语言：javascript复制liumiaocn:hello liumiao$ gradle tasks
> Configure project :
hello gradle
> Task :tasks
------------------------------------------------------------
All tasks runnable from root project
------------------------------------------------------------
Build Setup tasks
-----------------
init - Initializes a new Gradle build.
wrapper - Generates Gradle wrapper files.
Help tasks
----------
buildEnvironment - Displays all buildscript dependencies declared in root project 'hello'.
components - Displays the components produced by root project 'hello'. [incubating]
dependencies - Displays all dependencies declared in root project 'hello'.
dependencyInsight - Displays the insight into a specific dependency in root project 'hello'.
dependentComponents - Displays the dependent components of components in root project 'hello'. [incubating]
help - Displays a help message.
model - Displays the configuration model of root project 'hello'. [incubating]
projects - Displays the sub-projects of root project 'hello'.
properties - Displays the properties of root project 'hello'.
tasks - Displays the tasks runnable from root project 'hello'.
To see all tasks and more detail, run gradle tasks --all
To see more detail about a task, run gradle help --task <task>
BUILD SUCCESSFUL in 0s
1 actionable task: 1 executed
liumiaocn:hello liumiao$ 改进的HelloWorld
上述的HelloWorld例子过于简单, 在settings.gradle中添加一句println来确认一下执行顺序，然后设定project的名称，而不是使用缺省被指定的hello
代码语言：javascript复制liumiaocn:hello liumiao$ cat settings.gradle
println "setting gradle ..."
rootProject.name='helloPorject'
liumiaocn:hello liumiao$同样，对task也做一些简单的设定，详细后续在task的使用方式中展开
代码语言：javascript复制liumiaocn:hello liumiao$ cat build.gradle
task helloGradle {
println "hello gradle"
}
project.task('helloTask',group:'helloGradle',description:'hello gradle task')
liumiaocn:hello liumiao$ 确认project
代码语言：javascript复制liumiaocn:hello liumiao$ gradle projects
setting gradle ...
> Configure project :
hello gradle
> Task :projects
------------------------------------------------------------
Root project
------------------------------------------------------------
Root project 'helloPorject'
No sub-projects
To see a list of the tasks of a project, run gradle <project-path>:tasks
For example, try running gradle :tasks
BUILD SUCCESSFUL in 0s
1 actionable task: 1 executed
liumiaocn:hello liumiao$确认task
代码语言：javascript复制liumiaocn:hello liumiao$ gradle tasks
setting gradle ...
> Configure project :
hello gradle
> Task :tasks
------------------------------------------------------------
All tasks runnable from root project
------------------------------------------------------------
Build Setup tasks
-----------------
init - Initializes a new Gradle build.
wrapper - Generates Gradle wrapper files.
HelloGradle tasks
-----------------
helloTask - hello gradle task
Help tasks
----------
buildEnvironment - Displays all buildscript dependencies declared in root project 'helloPorject'.
components - Displays the components produced by root project 'helloPorject'. [incubating]
dependencies - Displays all dependencies declared in root project 'helloPorject'.
dependencyInsight - Displays the insight into a specific dependency in root project 'helloPorject'.
dependentComponents - Displays the dependent components of components in root project 'helloPorject'. [incubating]
help - Displays a help message.

projects - Displays the sub-projects of root project 'helloPorject'.
properties - Displays the properties of root project 'helloPorject'.
tasks - Displays the tasks runnable from root project 'helloPorject'.
To see all tasks and more detail, run gradle tasks --all
To see more detail about a task, run gradle help --task <task>
BUILD SUCCESSFUL in 0s
1 actionable task: 1 executed
liumiaocn:hello liumiao$ 执行task
task既然有名称了，就可以使用名称来执行了
代码语言：javascript复制liumiaocn:hello liumiao$ gradle helloGradle
setting gradle ...
> Configure project :
hello gradle
BUILD SUCCESSFUL in 0s
liumiaocn:hello liumiao$ 总结
Task和Project两个基本概念，settings.gradle和build.gradle两个缺省配置文件，这是需要首先掌握的。
