Hi all, so I am trying to use the Kotlin DSL, specifically I'm translating https://github.com/vert-x3/vertx-examples/blob/master/kotlin-examples/web/build.gradle to the Kotlin DSL, however it's not immediately apparent how would I pass arguments as in here https://github.com/vert-x3/vertx-examples/blob/master/kotlin-examples/web/build.gradle#L55 Any suggestions?

val mainVerticleName = "io.vertx.example.MainVerticle"
val mainClassName by extra { "io.vertx.core.Launcher" }

tasks {
	"run"(JavaExec::class) {
		args = listOf(
			"run",
			mainVerticleName,
			"--launcher-class=$mainClassName",
			"--redeploy=src/**/*.*",
			"--on-redeploy=./gradlew classes"
		)
	}
}

@Czar Thanks a lot, straightforward enough.

kotlin-dsl documentation is close to non-existent, but if you trawl through issues you find bits of knowledge like this 🙂

@mtl Have a look at this Vert.x template (https://github.com/napperley/kotlin-templates/tree/master/vertx). The template even covers hot code reloading. simple smile
