$ gradle init --type java-library

Java Support for Vscode

add gradle tasks(java Support extension doc) to build.gradle task vscodeClasspathFile { description 'Generates classpath file for the Visual Studio Code java plugin' ext.destFile = file("$buildDir/classpath.txt") outputs.file destFile doLast { def classpathString = configurations.compile.collect{ it.absolutePath }.join(':') assert destFile.parentFile.mkdir() destFile.text = classpathString } }

task vscodeJavaconfigFile(dependsOn: vscodeClasspathFile) { description 'Generates javaconfig.json file for the Visual Studio Code java plugin'

def relativePath = { File f ->
    f.absolutePath - "${project.rootDir.absolutePath}/"
}
ext.destFile = file("javaconfig.json")
ext.config = [
    sourcePath: sourceSets.collect{ it.java.srcDirs }.flatten().collect{ relativePath(it) },
    classPathFile: relativePath(tasks.getByPath(':vscodeClasspathFile').outputs.files.singleFile),
    outputDirectory: relativePath(new File(buildDir, 'vscode-classes'))
]
doLast {
    def jsonContent = groovy.json.JsonOutput.toJson(ext.config)
    destFile.text = groovy.json.JsonOutput.prettyPrint(jsonContent)
}

}

task vscode(dependsOn: vscodeJavaconfigFile) { description 'Generates config files for the Visual Studio Code java plugin' group 'vscode' }

Then run gradlew vscode. This will generate javaconfig.json build/classpath.txt
