How to install Mockito into Eclipse using Gradle - java

I want to use Mockito in my Eclipse, and you can only install it through build programs such as maven or Gradle, I chose to use Gradle. I am a beginner in using Gradle, but I just need to install Mockito and be able to use it as a dependency.

You don't actually "install" Mockito. You just add it to your dependency management system. Since you're using Gradle, all you have to do is add it to your build.gradle file. I'm assuming you've started with a blank Gradle project or something like that, which included a default build.gradle file.
Somewhere in that file you'll declare all your project dependencies:
dependencies {
// other dependencies will be here, just add the following line:
testCompile("org.mockito:mockito-core:1.10.19")
}
You can find out Mockito's artifact/group ids and available versions here: http://mvnrepository.com/search?q=mockito

How to build a jar without "-SNAPSHOT" in the name with Gradle?

Every time I run this command: gradle build it produces a my-program-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar. Where do I control this? In the gradle.properties I have only the version nothing else. Even if I run gradle -Dversion=1.0.0 build it still creates a jar with SNAPSHOT in the name. How do I create a jar like this: my-program-1.0.0.jar?
I'm using spring boot.
Basically we have to change the project version in the gradle, To do so we have to use project api in gradle. you can refer https://docs.gradle.org/current/dsl/org.gradle.api.Project.html
One Solution I can suggest is:
Add version '1.0' in your build.gradle

How to include reference to library in java gradle project

I am coming from a C# background. I am used to NuGet and Visual Studio project references so the Java ecosystem has confused me quite a bit.
I have a gradle library project. I want to import org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64;
However I keep getting cannot resolve errors.
I am using VSCode as my IDE and I would like to include the codec dependancy. How would I achieve this in VSCode/gradle.
I have downloaded the commons-codec-1.14.jar file, but don't know where to put it in the project.
Gradle is a tool that, among other things, manages your dependencies. This means that, you do not need to manually download and add dependencies to your project. Gradle solves this for you.
See the official documenation on how to handle dependencies with Gradle.
You probably have a build.gradle file, in which you need to include your dependency. It would look something like:
dependencies {
implementation 'commons-codec:commons-codec:1.14'
}
This lets Gradle know that you have a dependency to version 1.14 of commons-codec which your codes need to build and run.
This will automatically be downloaded from a remote repository, which you also can specify in your build.gradle file:
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
This tells gradle to download the dependencies from Maven Central, which probably is the most typical Maven/Gradle repository and most likely hosts most dependencies you would need.

Import Maven Project as Dependency into Gradle Project

I went through this link to import a gradle project as dependency into another gradle project. Is there a way to include a maven project as dependency into a gradle project?
If that Maven project is built somewhere else and deployed to a Maven repository, you can specify the artifact it produces as a simple compile dependency. If this Maven project is somehow a subproject of a Gradle multi-project build, I suppose you could hack it to work by simply ignoring the Maven POM file and perhaps adding a build.gradle to that project.
To use the solution described on the link that you provided - both projects must be gradle and included in gradle settings. Therefore you can use project closure to compile and depend on the project without building it explicitly.
I am not aware of any way to do this with maven project. I understand you use some maven plugins that you dont want to rewrite in gradle as simply can not find any equivalents etc. Often had that problem.
In this scenario I would suggest to build maven project and depend on a built jar in your gradle project.
Otherwise you could probably amend sourcesets in your gradle project to include maven classes. But I think it would be to complicated.
If I would be you I would turn it into gradle and try to replicate what you had using maven or just build the artifact and depend on it in dependencies closure.
Gradle is not that new anymore and there are many plugins that are superseding old good maven stuff.

Installing Mockito using Gradle

I have installed Gradle by adding the path to it into the system variables. I am quite new to Java and this is the first time that I am trying to install an external library for it. On the Mockito web-page, they say that one can:
Declare a dependency on “mockito-core” library using your favorite
build system. With Gradle one can do:
repositories { jcenter() }
dependencies { testCompile "org.mockito:mockito-core:1.+" }
So I have no idea what it means. I changed the directory in cmd to the Gradle folder and tried to execute these commands, but that is not how one is supposed to do it. Can you give me a hand here?
You have to create a build.gradle file where you can insert the dependency. I recommend using an ide like eclipse or IntelliJ which can generate a gradle project for you so you don't have to do this manually. Just install the corresponding Gradle Plugin. This also makes sure you have a correct project structure.

How to find out, where a library is defined in IntelliJ?

Suppose IntelliJ says that my project uses some version of the library, like this:
How to find out where classes from this JAR are actually referenced?
There does not appear to be a way to display dependency tree as you can with maven.
You can run Gradle dependencies task to see the dependencies. To do it in Idea you can configure a Gradle Run configuration with task dependencies:
