Here is a typical build.gradle file:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven { url "http://repo.spring.io/libs-release" }
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:1.2.5.RELEASE")
    }
}

apply plugin: 'base'
apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'eclipse'
apply plugin: 'idea'
apply plugin: 'spring-boot'
version =  '0.1.0'
archivesBaseName = 'gs-statemachine'

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    maven { url "http://repo.spring.io/libs-release" }
    maven { url "http://repo.spring.io/libs-milestone" }
    maven { url "http://repo.spring.io/libs-snapshot" }
}

dependencies {
    compile("org.springframework.statemachine:spring-statemachine-core:1.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT")
    compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter:1.2.5.RELEASE")
    testCompile("org.springframework.statemachine:spring-statemachine-test:1.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT")
}

task wrapper(type: Wrapper) {
    gradleVersion = '1.11'
}

Having a normal project structure you’d build this with command:

# ./gradlew clean build

Expected Spring Boot packaged fat-jar would be build/libs/gs-statemachine-0.1.0.jar.
