Run generation with the Gradle plugin

We recommend using the Gradle plugin by Etienne Studer (from Gradle Inc.). It provides a concise DSL that allows you to tune all configuration properties supported by each jOOQ version. Please direct any support questions or issues you may find directly to the third party plugin vendor.

Consider also the various examples provided there: https://github.com/etiennestuder/gradle-jooq-plugin/tree/master/example

Alternatively, programmatic configuration can be used

If you don't want to use the above third party plugin, there's also the possibility to use jOOQ's standalone code generator for simplicity. The following working example build.gradle script should work out of the box:

// Configure the Java plugin and the dependencies
// ----------------------------------------------
apply plugin: 'java'

repositories {
    mavenLocal()
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    compile 'org.jooq:jooq:3.8.9'

    runtime 'com.h2database:h2:1.4.200'
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.11'
}

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenLocal()
        mavenCentral()
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath 'org.jooq:jooq-codegen:3.8.9'
        classpath 'com.h2database:h2:200'
    }
}

import org.jooq.codegen.GenerationTool
import org.jooq.meta.jaxb.*

GenerationTool.generate(new Configuration()
    .withJdbc(new Jdbc()
        .withDriver('org.h2.Driver')
        .withUrl('jdbc:h2:~/test-gradle')
        .withUser('sa')
        .withPassword(''))
    .withGenerator(new Generator()
        .withDatabase(new Database())
        .withGenerate(new Generate()
            .withPojos(true)
            .withDaos(true))
        .withTarget(new Target()
            .withPackageName('org.jooq.example.gradle.db')
            .withDirectory('src/main/java'))))
