Gradle Scalate plugin

This plugin provides tasks for Scalate in Gradle build script. Currently, task for precompile of templates is supported.

Note: Scalate already provides its official plugins to Precompile Templates for Maven and SBT. Use of the official plugin in Maven or SBT is strongly recommended. Use this plugin ** only when ** you somehow have to precompile your scalate templates in Gradle build and unable to change it to Maven or SBT.

Prerequired

    apply plugin: 'scala'

• Add necessary dependencies for scala. See user manual for "gradle scala plugin".

• Add scalate-core.jar in your project dependencies with :compile configuration.

        dependencies {

        }
