Trying Gradle build - Task build not found in root project

Question

I just started to read  Pro Spring MVC with web flow  and it comes with a code sample that I want to follow     What I want - I want to build the applications as it s done in the book  using Gradle What is the problem - I have never used Gradle before and when I try to execute what I m thinking I have to I get this error Task  build  not found in root project What have I done so far - Yesterday I downloaded Gradle from the official site and get it to work  Today when I actually tried to execute the steps from the book it turns out that the sample code comes with its own Gradle distribution and I executed it which I think followed to getting a second distribution of Gradle  However  I don t know if this may be a problem or not  now my directory with the sample code looks like this     Then it s written that I have to execute    gradlew build which I execute like this and get the following     What have I tried - The only thing that came to my mind was to leave only the Gradle s stuff plus the appendixA-bookstore folder in case Gradle recognize all directories as different builds but no success  What s the final result that I want to accomplish - First I want to figure out where is my mistake and how to build the sample application s   And also it would be perfect if I actually can do this from my first Gradle setup which as I wrote did yesterday and what exactly should I do to use this sample code with my fresh and original Gradle setup

You didn t do what you re being asked to do   What is asked      I have to execute    gradlew build   What you do  cd    gradlew build   That s not the same thing    The first one will use the gradlew command found in the    directory  mdeinum      and look for the build file to execute in the current directory  which is  for example  chapter1-bookstore   The second one will execute the gradlew command found in the current directory  mdeinum      and look for the build file to execute in the current directory  which is mdeinum      So the build file executed is not the same
