• the Gradle project using the Kotlin DSL (see build.gradle.kts) with auto-reloading and fat-jar building

• a main verticle file (src/main/java/io/vertx/starter/MainVerticle.java)

• a unit test (src/main/test/io/vertx/starter/MainVerticleTest.java)

1. Delete the .git directory

2. Open the build.gradle.kts file and customize vertxVersion. You can also change the mainVerticleName variable to use your own package name and verticle class.

3. Run ./gradlew run.

This last command relaunches Gradle and the application as soon as you change something under src/main.

To build the project, just use:

It generates a fat-jar in the build/libs directory.
