Task 'run' not found in root project

My "build.gradle" file:

apply plugin: 'java'
sourceSets {
   main {
      java {
         srcDir 'src'
      }
   }

   test {
      java {
         srcDir 'test'
      }
   }
}

My "Main.java" file in "./src/" directory:

import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello Gradle");
    }
}

I get this error:

Task 'run' not found in root project 'gradleNew'

Sorry for the stupid question... I didn't use Gradle before

The java plugin does not include the run task, which I suppose your gradle build requires somewhere in your app. Change the java plugin to application and you should be fine. To verify this, you can go to your project folder inside you terminal and run gradle tasks. You should see the run task listed among other tasks. I hope that helps.

Try this instead:

group 'com.example'
version '1.0'

apply plugin: 'application' // implicitly includes the java plugin

sourceCompatibility = 1.11 // java version 11

repositories {
  mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
  // your dependencies
}

sourceSets {
  main {
    java {
      srcDirs = ['src/main/java']
    }
    resources {
      srcDirs = ['src/main/resources']
    }
  }
}

I typically use something similar to this for my projects. You can then explicitly create the relevant dirs for src/test code, or sometimes the IDE will do it for you when you point it to the relevant build.gradle file (you can typically restart the IDE and it will pick up the file, or you can open a new project and select the build.gradle file as the project to open if it doesn't identify it right away).
