# Class JavaExec

java.lang.Object
org.gradle.api.internal.AbstractTask
org.gradle.api.DefaultTask
org.gradle.api.internal.ConventionTask
org.gradle.api.tasks.JavaExec

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Comparable<Task>, org.gradle.api.internal.DynamicObjectAware, org.gradle.api.internal.IConventionAware, org.gradle.api.internal.TaskInternal, Named, ExtensionAware, Task, BaseExecSpec, JavaExecSpec, JavaForkOptions, ProcessForkOptions, Configurable<Task>`

@DisableCachingByDefault(because="Gradle would require more information to cache this task") public abstract class JavaExec extends org.gradle.api.internal.ConventionTask implements JavaExecSpec
Executes a Java application in a child process.

Similar to `Exec`, but starts a JVM with the given classpath and application class.

    plugins {
        id 'java'
    }

    task runApp(type: JavaExec) {
      classpath = sourceSets.main.runtimeClasspath

      mainClass = 'package.Main'

      // arguments to pass to the application
      args 'appArg1'
    }

    // Using and creating an Executable Jar
    jar {
      manifest {
        attributes('Main-Class': 'package.Main')
      }
    }

    task runExecutableJar(type: JavaExec) {
      // Executable jars can have only _one_ jar on the classpath.
      classpath = files(tasks.jar)

      // 'main' does not need to be specified

      // arguments to pass to the application
      args 'appArg1'
    }

The process can be started in debug mode (see `getDebug()`) in an ad-hoc manner by supplying the `--debug-jvm` switch when invoking the build.

    gradle someJavaExecTask --debug-jvm

Also, debug configuration can be explicitly set in `debugOptions(Action)`:

    task runApp(type: JavaExec) {
       ...

       debugOptions {
           enabled = true
           port = 5566
           server = true
           suspend = false
       }
    }

  - ### getDebug

    public boolean getDebug()
    Determines whether debugging is enabled for the test process. When enabled — `debug = true` — the process is started in a suspended state, listening on port 5005. You should disable parallel test execution when debugging and you will need to reattach the debugger occasionally if you use a non-zero value for `Test.getForkEvery()`.

    Since Gradle 5.6, you can configure the port and other Java debug properties via `JavaForkOptions.debugOptions(Action)`.

      `getDebugOptions` in interface `JavaForkOptions`

  - ### debugOptions

    public void debugOptions(Action<JavaDebugOptions> action)

    public JavaExec setArgsString(String args)
    Parses an argument list from `args` and passes it to `setArgs(List)`.

    Note: the parser does not support using backslash to escape quotes. If this is needed, use the other quote delimiter around it. For example, to pass the argument `'singly quoted'`, use `"'singly quoted'"`.
