@kastork I'm a complete Gradle N00b - would like like to refine the default gradle buld file perhaps? 🙂

[kastork]

edvin: I just realized you simply added the runtime config. For some reason I had it in my head you were defining an entirely new run task.

[edvin]

Yeah, I just wanted gradle run to pick up the correct main class. So it's OK to leave it like that?

[edvin]

Brb

[kastork]

I'll get back to you on that -- some other things to attend to first.

[edvin]

@kastork No rush. I will do a new release of the plugin once this is fixed so the issue with the mangled gradlew doesn't cause any more trouble.

[kastork]

I notice you keep the .idea directory in all the template projects, and also .gradle in the gradle project. Do you think they add value?

[kastork]

can't find the docs for how to make a project that resides in template-projects into a correct zip file in `resources`project-templates`. Is there some kind of build command for this?

[edvin]

I'm not sure, but I would think that the "Create template from project" would remove them. Weird if they don't do that. I will try to read up on how to best create those template projects. I really want to generate the code instead of using templates. I know that's possible, and I did start on it, but it's hard without documentation.

[edvin]

The procedure is:

[edvin]

1. Open one of the template projects

[edvin]

2. Choose "Tools -> Save Project as Template"

[edvin]

Now you have a template project in your ~/.IntelliJIdea2017.1/config/projectTemplates folder.

[edvin]

Then I use the fetch-project-templates.sh script to copy them into the project-templates folder.

[edvin]

They also need to be mentioned in the plugin descriptor to work.
