Java Build Directory README

Overview

This directory contains multiple Java builds for various projects or modules. Each build is organized into its own subdirectory and includes all necessary files for compilation, execution, and packaging.

Directory Structure

The directory is structured as follows:

/java_builds
    /project1
        /src
        /lib
        /bin
        /docs
        build.gradle
        README.md
    /project2
        /src
        /lib
        /bin
        /docs
        pom.xml
        README.md
    ...

Explanation of Subdirectories and Files

• src/: Contains the source code for the project.
• lib/: Contains external libraries and dependencies required by the project.
• bin/: Contains the compiled class files and executable binaries.
• docs/: Contains documentation related to the project, including API docs, user manuals, and guides.
• build.gradle: The Gradle build script for the project (if using Gradle).
• pom.xml: The Maven project descriptor file (if using Maven).
• README.md: Project-specific README file containing details about the project, how to build and run it, and other relevant information.

Getting Started

To get started with any of the projects, navigate to the project's directory and follow the instructions in the project' s README.md file. Below are general steps applicable to most projects.

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following tools installed on your system:

• Java Development Kit (JDK) version 8 or higher
• Gradle (for projects using Gradle)
• Maven (for projects using Maven)

Building a Project

Using Gradle

1. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd /path/to/build-directory/project1

2. Execute the Gradle build command:

   gradle build

   This will compile the source code, run tests, and package the project.

Using Maven

1. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd /path/to/build-directory/project2

2. Execute the Maven build command:

   mvn clean install

   This will compile the source code, run tests, and package the project.

Running a Project

After building the project, the compiled binaries can be found in the bin/ directory. To run a project:

1. Navigate to the bin/ directory:

   cd /path/to/build-directory/project1/bin

2. Execute the main class. For example:

   java com.example.Main

Contributing
