How do I replace the default source folders for gradle?

Question

I am new to Gradle and I have a source code location different than what Gradle expects.

Gradle expects to find the production source code under src/main/java and your test source code under src/main/resources. How do I configure Gradle to a different source code?

Answer 1

You have to add few lines to build.gradle:

To replace the default source folders, you will want to use srcDirs instead, which takes an array of the path.

    sourceSets {
        main.java.srcDirs = ['src/java']
        main.resources.srcDirs = ['src/resources']
    }

Another way of doing it is:

    sourceSets {
        main {
            java {
                srcDir 'src/java'
            }
            resources {
                srcDir 'src/resources'
            }
        }
    }

The same thing is applicable to test folder too.
