A fully working sample Gradle project that parses and generates code with JavaParser
This is targeted at people without Gradle experience.
To build it, you will need to download and unpack the latest (or recent) version of Gradle (https://gradle.org/install/)
and put the gradle command on your path. Alternatively, you can use the (included) gradle wrapper.
Then, you will need to install a Java 1.8 (or higher) JDK (not JRE!), and make sure you can run java from the command line.
Now you can run gradle shadowJar - Gradle will compile your project and put the
resulting jar file in the build directory.
If you like to run from the command line, execute
java -jar build/libs/javaparser-gradle-sample-shadow-1.0-SNAPSHOT-beta.jar.
How you run this code is up to you, but usually you would start by using an IDE like NetBeans, Intellij IDEA, or Eclipse.
Note that the JavaParser dependencies may lag behind the official releases a bit.
If you notice some problems with this setup, please open an issue.
