LAST UPDATE : September 12, 2016 : i) Fixed Google Cloud Console link.ii) Updated App Engine SDK version and App Engine Gradle plugin version to the latest one i.e. Read the post on Google Cloud Platform Blog.iii) Fixed build.gradle file to read Google Cloud Project Id directly from only.iv) Added jcenter() to build.gradle file to use a faster repository.v) Using oauth2 only in Gradle App Engine plugin for appengine Update task since client password is deprecated.vi) Added Java 7 class bytecode compatibility to the build.gradle file. In this part of the tutorial, we shall look at the App Engine Gradle plugin.

Part 4, we took a look at building Java Web Applications via Gradle.

While it is certainly possible to develop applications in Eclipse and use Maven as a command-line build tool, most developers expect the IDE to know how to invoke and interact with the build tool they are using.

Software engineers are approaching development and enterprise design in an entirely new way, thanks to the cloud.

The Eclipse IDE is the most widely used IDE for Java development today.

At the same time, Apache Maven continues to mature, and has grown to be the industry standard for creating extensible and reliable enterprise builds.

In this expert handbook, explore how your peers are leveraging the cloud to streamline app lifecycle management, save money, and make production and security more efficient. The m2eclipse project provides support for Maven within the Eclipse IDE.

It is a plugin which helps bridge the gaps between Maven and Eclipse.

Building a JAR file with Maven is pretty easy: just define the project packaging as "jar" and then execute the package life-cycle phase.This operation will make Sonar Lint use the analyzers, quality profiles and settings defined on your Sonar Qube server.This is a convenient way of customizing the rules used by Sonar Lint.Maven, on the other hand, does most of that work for you: you just tell it whether the project is a JAR or EAR file, then instruct it to process the "package" phase.Maven will find the required resources and construct the files.
