• <modelVersion>. POM model version (always 4.0.0).

• <groupId>. Group or organization that the project belongs to. Often expressed as an inverted domain name.

• <artifactId>. Name to be given to the project’s library artifact (for example, the name of its JAR or WAR file).

• <version>. Version of the project that is being built.

• <packaging> - How the project should be packaged. Defaults to "jar" for JAR file packaging. Use "war" for WAR file packaging.

Command

mvn compile

• compiled .class files which is bytecode file in the target/classes directory.

mvn package

• packaging the code up in a JAR file within the target directory. The name of the JAR file will be based on the project’s <artifactId> and <version>. For example, given the minimal pom.xml file from before, the JAR file will be named gs-maven-0.1.0.jar.

• After that the artifact can be executed by

java -jar target/gs-maven-0.1.0.jar

Gradle

Dependency file

build.gradle

apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'eclipse'
apply plugin: 'application'

mainClassName = 'hello.HelloWorld'

// tag::repositories[]
repositories { 
    mavenCentral() 
}
// end::repositories[]

// tag::jar[]
jar {
    archiveBaseName = 'gs-gradle'
    archiveVersion =  '0.1.0'
}
// end::jar[]

// tag::dependencies[]
sourceCompatibility = 1.8
targetCompatibility = 1.8

dependencies {
    implementation "joda-time:joda-time:2.2"
    testImplementation "junit:junit:4.12"
}
// end::dependencies[]

// tag::wrapper[]
// end::wrapper[]

Command

gradle build

To see the results of the build effort, take a look in the build folder. Therein you’ll find several directories, including these three notable folders:

• classes. The project’s compiled .class files.

• reports. Reports produced by the build (such as test reports).

• libs. Assembled project libraries (usually JAR and/or WAR files).
