FYI, this can be installed via "View -> User defined dialog -> Import"

@centic9, I do not see the option you are referring to. I see "Language -> User-Define"
I did that and then imported "gradle.xml" (what I named this file. I am not seeing syntax highlighting. Any idea?

http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/notepad-plus/index.php?title=User_Defined_Language_Files#How_to_install_user_defined_language_files

nice, thanks :)
btw, sourceCompatibility is misspelled

Thank you

great, thanks!

Thanks, it is a great help. In Np5.9, after importing the file I had to save it again. Only then it became visible in the "Languages" and the visible changes took place.

Maybe you can try to put an entry for this gradle definition at http://docs.notepad-plus-plus.org/index.php?title=User_Defined_Language_Files

FYI you may copy the url returned by raw directly in the file browser opened after clicking on "import..."

Cheers!

This language definition does not know the 'compileOnly' configuration which is available in newer gradle releases.

Thanks a ton

thanks!

Thanks!
How to import
NotePad++ > Tool bar > Language > Define your language... > Import > Save as...

http://docs.notepad-plus-plus.org/index.php/User_Defined_Language_Files

good

Fail to import!

Notepad++ v 7.5.6 32 bit

Could you add support to make /* */ comment fields collapsible?

I found how to configure it.

Language -> Define your Language...

Select Gradle from the "User language" dropdown (after it has already been imported into np++).
Select "Comment & Number" tab.
Check "Allow folding of comments"
Close "User Defined Language" window.

Thats how you import this file
