Gradle Application Plugin – APP_HOME in applicationDefaultJvmArgs
In Gardle, the application plugin, you can pass the system properties via applicationDefaultJvmArgs
:
gradle.build
apply plugin:'application'
mainClassName = "com.mkyong.analyzer.engine.hydra.entryPointForJar"
applicationName = 'analyzer'
distZip {
archiveName 'analyzer-' + version + '.zip'
}
applicationDefaultJvmArgs = ["-Dlogback.configurationFile=logback.xml"]
The problem is how to get the APP_HOME for logback.xml
?
gradle.build
applicationDefaultJvmArgs = ["-Dlogback.configurationFile=APP_HOME/logback.xml"]
You can hard code the APP_HOME, but this will only work for one platform (Windows or *nix).
1. Solution
To fix it, create a custom “MY_APP_HOME” variable, and replace it with doLast
gradle.build
applicationDefaultJvmArgs = ["-Dlogback.configurationFile=MY_APP_HOME/logback.xml"]
startScripts {
doLast {
unixScript.text = unixScript.text.replace('MY_APP_HOME', '\$APP_HOME')
windowsScript.text = windowsScript.text.replace('MY_APP_HOME', '%~dp0..')
}
}
Note
This solution works in both Windows and *nix platforms. Tested with Gradle 2.0

Build it.
gradle distZip
Output

set DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS="-Dlogback.configurationFile=%~dp0../logback.xml"
2. Solution – Custom Startup Script
This is for the custom startup script:
gradle.build
task abcStartScripts(type: CreateStartScripts) {
mainClassName = "com.mkyong.analyzer.engine.hydra.entryPointForJar"
classpath = startScripts.classpath
outputDir = startScripts.outputDir
applicationName = 'analyzer'
defaultJvmOpts = ["-Dlogback.configurationFile=MY_APP_HOME/logback.xml"]
abcStartScripts {
doLast {
unixScript.text = unixScript.text.replace('MY_APP_HOME', '\$APP_HOME')
windowsScript.text = windowsScript.text.replace('MY_APP_HOME', '%~dp0..')
}
}
}
applicationDistribution.into("bin") {
from(hostingStatStartScripts)
fileMode = 0755
}
Thank you so much
Thank you so much
That works fine, thank you
since version 2.13 you can put $APP_HOME in your defaultJvmOpts. But this will broke the windows script.
Please can you added the grails examples
