Hi, I am new to java and gradle and want to make a project larger than a simple hello-world or calculator app. I am not using any IDEs at the moment because I am interested in learning CLIs and how stuff might need to be set up manually. I know its probably dumb and I'd almost never have to do it, I just want to for learning purposes.

That being said, what would the best way be to add additional java files and classes in a typical gradle project? Should I be adding classes under /app/src/main/java/project-name? Should I be manually making .java files in the main and test folders? Or is there a gradle command that can template this out?

I apologize for my noobliness. As the title suggests, anything related to project management would be appreciated! And sorry I am not looking to use Intellij or Eclipse or an IDE for this project, however I am open to in the future. Thanks in advance!

you would normally just create Java files with the content - you can possibly set up a template if applicable

#

But not using an IDE will be annoying for non-small projects, especially since you wouldn't have proper autocomplete, instant feedback, etc

#

So you would probably want to switch to an IDE pretty quickly tbh

#

or at least use an IDE but disable/not use many things from it until you are "good enough" with the CLI tools

#

but IMO the CLI usage isn't the main issue with build tools - it's more configuring them
