How to do a Maven to Gradle migration on a Java Spring Boot project

If you're looking to migrate your project from Maven to Gradle then follow this simple step-by-step process explained in this video.

We'll use an example Spring Boot application which builds in Maven, and within 8 steps convert it to Gradle.

Gradle is a build automation tools which offers a less verbose Groovy syntax, incremental builds, and potential significant speed improvements.

▶️ step 1: run a build scan on the Maven build 4:03
▶️ step 2: run an automatic conversion 6:12
▶️ step 3: build your project and work through any errors 9:25
▶️ step 4: compare the built artifacts 10:25
▶️ step 5: run a build scan on the Gradle build 13:28
▶️ step 6: convert plugins 14:43
▶️ step 7: ensure tests re running 15:52
▶️ step 8: manually test the application 17:07

We are getting version conflicts and gradle downloading different versions than mavenn and hence application failing.. how do I ensure gradle downloads exactly the same dependency

Thank you for your video!! It really helped me to understand whole convert process but I wonder if I can delete maven files after finishing converting to gradle. Thank you again! 👍🏻

Hi Tom, Your videos are great!!. However, when I run a maven build, it didn't produce scan for me. I placed this extension file in wrapper, tried with version 1.3.6 and also with 1.8. I am using Maven 3.6.3 and Java 1.8. What am I missing, is there something else related to gradle that needs to be put somewhere?

should we delete mvn folder after migration?

I just don't understand why intellij create separate modules for main and test directories when you open a gradle project with it. Can you suggest if there is any solution so the project structure be the same in intellij?
