Looking for Tips, Advice and Resources for Project Management with Java and Gradle
Hi, I am new to java and gradle and want to make a project larger than a simple hello-world or calculator app. I am not using any IDEs at the moment because I am interested in learning CLIs and how stuff might need to be set up manually. I know its probably dumb and I'd almost never have to do it, I just want to for learning purposes.
That being said, what would the best way be to add additional java files and classes in a typical gradle project? Should I be adding classes under
/app/src/main/java/project-name? Should I be manually making .java files in the main and test folders? Or is there a gradle command that can template this out?
I apologize for my noobliness. As the title suggests, anything related to project management would be appreciated! And sorry I am not looking to use Intellij or Eclipse or an IDE for this project, however I am open to in the future. Thanks in advance!3 Replies

you would normally just create Java files with the content - you can possibly set up a template if applicable
But not using an IDE will be annoying for non-small projects, especially since you wouldn't have proper autocomplete, instant feedback, etc
So you would probably want to switch to an IDE pretty quickly tbh
or at least use an IDE but disable/not use many things from it until you are "good enough" with the CLI tools
but IMO the CLI usage isn't the main issue with build tools - it's more configuring them
that's also what IDEs do
you probably at least want something where you can have the directory structure and the files in one window
