This is a "bare minimum" Gradle project that depends on MarkLogic Smart Mastering. It shows the least amount of configuration necessary to deploy a new application to MarkLogic that includes the Smart Mastering modules.
To try it out, just run the following command - this uses the Gradle wrapper so that you don't need Gradle installed locally (just a JVM, version 1.8 or higher).
*nix systems:
./gradlew mlDeploy
Windows:
gradlew.bat mlDeploy
This deploys a new REST server to port 8800 by default (to change the port or any other property, modify the gradle.properties file in this directory). After the deployment is done, go to the following URL:
http://localhost:8800/v1/config/resources
And you'll see all of the Smart Mastering services deployed, which verifies that this project was able to resolve the com.marklogic.community:smart-mastering-core dependency and load all of the Smart Mastering modules into your new application's modules database.
The Smart Mastering modules themselves are located under ./build/mlRestApi/smart-mastering-core. The ml-gradle plugin handles downloading the modules package from a Maven repository and then ensuring that the modules are loaded as part of the mlDeploy, mlLoadModules, mlReloadModules, and mlWatch tasks.
Calling ./gradlew, you may get the response ./gradlew: Permission denied. If this occurs, run chmod +x gradlew to make the gradle wrapper executable.
