I'm comparing ant, maven and gradle to suggest one tool to my project. I have found projects like hiberante, grails, groovy and spring uses gradle. But could not found any noticeable projects in ant and maven. Does anybody knows such projects ?
Also i would like read your comments on these build tools so I can choose the best one.
Thanks in advance
One prominent Open source project that uses Ant is Apache Tomcat. You can find their build script here.
Apache Wicket and Apache Camel come to mind as popular projects that use Maven.
As for Ant, I don't really know. Spring used to, but as you said it now uses Gradle.
Take a look at https://builds.apache.org there you will find many examples for all tools

I have a gradle based java application designed based out of Netflix OSS. I want to convert the app to maven based.
Can anyone please help me to convert the app ?
It should fairly easy to achieve the same.
Maven and Gradle have a similar concept of dependency management.
The compilation and other stuff is similar.
Only thing which varies is customizability which gradle provides.
Following link should get you started:

I'm switching a large project from Maven to Gradle. Existing Maven project uses com.googlecode.maven-java-formatter-plugin to format the Java code. Looked for the equivalent in Gradle. Found https://plugins.gradle.org/plugin/com.github.sherter.google-java-format, but it spewed a bunch of errors out, was really slow, and didn't generate the same output as the Maven plugin.
Also looked here: https://github.com/google/google-java-format - no help.
Is there a Gradle plugin which will give me same result as the Maven plugin?
There is this other Gradle plugin, which uses the Eclipse formatter. Maybe you can tweak it to achieve the same results as with the maven plugin you mentioned (I'm not using this plugin myself).
Note that it is an explicit non-goal of google-java-format and the corresponding Gradle plugin to be configurable. If you are not happy with the formatting style then this tool is probably not appropriate for you.
(if you have technical problems with my Gradle plugin, feel free to provide more details or open a ticket on Github)
As I am new to learn either maven or Gradle build tools. Therefore I wonder which one I select to study between maven and Gradle and which one has more requirement and demand in the industry. I want to use these build tools for Spring and Hibernate based projects. Any suggestion would be very helpful.
Thanks
Before this is closed for "not being a good question", I'll get some comments in.
You might want to learn the same thing that most other developers want to learn. Look at the third slide of the following slideware, which shows the results of Zeroturnaround's yearly developer survey. For this set of >2k developers, when asked what technologies they were interested in learning, Gradle was at the top of the list.
You can use either Maven or Gradle to build projects using Spring or Hibernate, but it's useful to point out that both the Spring and Hibernate code bases (not necessarily the applications using them) use Gradle to build their deliverables.
Maven provided the best build solution for quite a few years, but it's difficult to customize a build, and most Maven build scripts are very "noisy". Gradle solves those problems, while providing a smooth migration path from Maven or even Ant.
How do you download Spring Framework jars if you can't stand Maven or any of the other build management tools. From what I can tell it seems you have to spend many frustrating hours on Google to find out how to do this. I thought Spring was supposed to be easy. All I'm trying to do is to write a simple Hello World application using Eclipse and Tomcat. Why is it so difficult with Spring 3?
go there
http://repo.spring.io/release/org/springframework/spring/
you can see all versions, like old school
Why can't you stand Maven? I like Maven, but I really like Gradle.
Either way, if you only build with your IDE, you can't automate your build (so no chance at continuous integration/delivery), and it's tough to integrate new members of your team. Specifically with this question about Spring dependencies, it is a lot easier to automate management of transitive dependencies rather than download them all yourself--and figuring out which new jars to download by tracing through one NoClassDefFoundError after another.
I think the Spring guys can't imagine why anyone would want to endure all these downsides. But it's your project and you should do what you think is right.
So if you must, grab the jars starting with this one from Maven Central yourself and have some fun.
That's funny. It seems everyone wants you to use a dependency management tool. You can always browse a maven repository and download the parts you need:
http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework
I am looking for an automated way to validate my JS code during Maven build process.
One of the projects I found is JSlint4Java. What I discovered the hard way, it works only with Maven 3, unfortunately.
You could try Wro4j with JSHint. It works great in my projects.
https://code.google.com/p/wro4j/
well I dont any way about maven. but Hudson build tool also have integration with JSLint. Maybe you can integrate with your build server
