A minimal Dropwizard getting started project using Gradle. Use shadowJar plugin to create fat jars.

To create a fat jar:

./gradlew shadowJar

To run your application:

java -jar build/libs/hello-friends-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar server hello-world.yml

To build and run your application:

./gradlew runServer

This command runs both first two commands above. There will be gradle output stuck at the bottom of the output and it is normal.

Server

Server is accessible at localhost:8085. Port can be configured inside hello-world.yml.
