How do I set up a Gradle build for my Java project?

To set up a Gradle build, first, ensure you have Gradle installed. Then, create a 'build.gradle' file in your project root.

What should I include in the 'build.gradle' file?

You should include the 'plugins' section, dependencies, and the 'repositories' section. For example:

plugins {
    id 'java'
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    implementation 'org.springframework:spring-core:5.3.8'
}

How do I run the build after setting it up?

You can run the build by executing the command gradle build in your terminal from the project root.

What if I encounter errors during the build?

Check the error messages in the terminal. They usually indicate what's wrong. Common issues include missing dependencies or incorrect configurations.
