+# Gradle OCI Plugin Example: Java Application
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> This example is the same as [java-app](../java-app).
+> The only difference is the use of the Groovy DSL in Gradle build scripts.
+> The Kotlin DSL is recommended if you use the Gradle OCI Plugin as the focus lies on providing the best user experience with the Kotlin DSL.
+> It is possible to use the Groovy DSL though, there are only a few differences where the Groovy DSL needs a few more characters.
+
+This example project produces a Java application that prints "Hello World!" and the Java version.
+
+The application is bundled as an OCI/Docker image by using the Gradle OCI Plugin.
+Look at the OCI image definition in [build.gradle.kts](build.gradle).
+
+This example gives you two options to use the created OCI image:
+- Run the image as a test container in a JUnit test (Look at the code [here](src/test/java/org/example/java/app/ImageTest.java)):
+  ```shell
+  ./gradlew test
+  ```
+- Push the image to a registry:
+  - To push to DockerHub, set the `dockerHubUsername` and `dockerHubPassword` Gradle properties to your DockerHub credentials (for example in `~/.gradle.properties`) and replace `<username>` in the following command:
+    ```shell
+    ./gradlew pushOciImage --registry dockerHub --name <username>/example-java-app
+    ```
+  - To push to any registry, specify the `-url` option:
+    ```shell
+    ./gradlew pushOciImage --url https://my-registry.example.org
+    ```
+  - To push to any registry that requires credentials, also specify the `--credentials` option and setup the required Gradle properties (`myRegUsername` and `myRegPassword` in this example):
+    ```shell
+    ./gradlew pushOciImage --url https://my-registry.example.org --credentials myReg
+    ```
+  - You can specify the OCI image's name and tag in the registry with the `--name` and `--tag` options:
+    ```shell
+    ./gradlew pushOciImage --url https://my-registry.example.org --name oci-demo-app --tag 123 --tag latest
+    ```
+  - Run the following to get an overview and a description of all available options:
+    ```shell
+    ./gradlew help --task pushOciImage
+    ```

+#   Gradle start up script for POSIX generated by Gradle.
+#
+#   Important for running:
+#
+#   (1) You need a POSIX-compliant shell to run this script. If your /bin/sh is
+#       noncompliant, but you have some other compliant shell such as ksh or
+#       bash, then to run this script, type that shell name before the whole
+#       command line, like:
+#
+#           ksh Gradle
+#
+#       Busybox and similar reduced shells will NOT work, because this script
+#       requires all of these POSIX shell features:
+#         * functions;
+#         * expansions «$var», «${var}», «${var:-default}», «${var+SET}»,
+#           «${var#prefix}», «${var%suffix}», and «$( cmd )»;
+#         * compound commands having a testable exit status, especially «case»;
+#         * various built-in commands including «command», «set», and «ulimit».
+#
+#   Important for patching:
+#
+#   (2) This script targets any POSIX shell, so it avoids extensions provided
+#       by Bash, Ksh, etc; in particular arrays are avoided.
+#
+#       The "traditional" practice of packing multiple parameters into a
+#       space-separated string is a well documented source of bugs and security
+#       problems, so this is (mostly) avoided, by progressively accumulating
+#       options in "$@", and eventually passing that to Java.
+#
+#       Where the inherited environment variables (DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS, JAVA_OPTS,
+#       and GRADLE_OPTS) rely on word-splitting, this is performed explicitly;
+#       see the in-line comments for details.
+#
+#       There are tweaks for specific operating systems such as AIX, CygWin,
+#       Darwin, MinGW, and NonStop.
+#
+#   (3) This script is generated from the Groovy template
+#       https://github.com/gradle/gradle/blob/HEAD/subprojects/plugins/src/main/resources/org/gradle/api/internal/plugins/unixStartScript.txt
+#       within the Gradle project.

+# Gradle OCI Plugin Example: Java Application
+
+This example project produces a Java application that prints "Hello World!" and the Java version.
+
+The application is bundled as an OCI/Docker image by using the Gradle OCI Plugin.
+Look at the OCI image definition in [build.gradle.kts](build.gradle.kts).
+
+This example gives you two options to use the created OCI image:
+- Run the image as a test container in a JUnit test (Look at the code [here](src/test/java/org/example/java/app/ImageTest.java)):
+  ```shell
+  ./gradlew test
+  ```
+- Push the image to a registry:
+  - To push to DockerHub, set the `dockerHubUsername` and `dockerHubPassword` Gradle properties to your DockerHub credentials (for example in `~/.gradle.properties`) and replace `<username>` in the following command:
+    ```shell
+    ./gradlew pushOciImage --registry dockerHub --name <username>/example-java-app
+    ```
+  - To push to any registry, specify the `-url` option:
+    ```shell
+    ./gradlew pushOciImage --url https://my-registry.example.org
+    ```
+  - To push to any registry that requires credentials, also specify the `--credentials` option and setup the required Gradle properties (`myRegUsername` and `myRegPassword` in this example):
+    ```shell
+    ./gradlew pushOciImage --url https://my-registry.example.org --credentials myReg
+    ```
+  - You can specify the OCI image's name and tag in the registry with the `--name` and `--tag` options:
+    ```shell
+    ./gradlew pushOciImage --url https://my-registry.example.org --name oci-demo-app --tag 123 --tag latest
+    ```
+  - Run the following to get an overview and a description of all available options:
+    ```shell
+    ./gradlew help --task pushOciImage
+    ```

+#   Gradle start up script for POSIX generated by Gradle.
+#
+#   Important for running:
+#
+#   (1) You need a POSIX-compliant shell to run this script. If your /bin/sh is
+#       noncompliant, but you have some other compliant shell such as ksh or
+#       bash, then to run this script, type that shell name before the whole
+#       command line, like:
+#
+#           ksh Gradle
+#
+#       Busybox and similar reduced shells will NOT work, because this script
+#       requires all of these POSIX shell features:
+#         * functions;
+#         * expansions «$var», «${var}», «${var:-default}», «${var+SET}»,
+#           «${var#prefix}», «${var%suffix}», and «$( cmd )»;
+#         * compound commands having a testable exit status, especially «case»;
+#         * various built-in commands including «command», «set», and «ulimit».
+#
+#   Important for patching:
+#
+#   (2) This script targets any POSIX shell, so it avoids extensions provided
+#       by Bash, Ksh, etc; in particular arrays are avoided.
+#
+#       The "traditional" practice of packing multiple parameters into a
+#       space-separated string is a well documented source of bugs and security
+#       problems, so this is (mostly) avoided, by progressively accumulating
+#       options in "$@", and eventually passing that to Java.
+#
+#       Where the inherited environment variables (DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS, JAVA_OPTS,
+#       and GRADLE_OPTS) rely on word-splitting, this is performed explicitly;
+#       see the in-line comments for details.
+#
+#       There are tweaks for specific operating systems such as AIX, CygWin,
+#       Darwin, MinGW, and NonStop.
+#
+#   (3) This script is generated from the Groovy template
+#       https://github.com/gradle/gradle/blob/HEAD/subprojects/plugins/src/main/resources/org/gradle/api/internal/plugins/unixStartScript.txt
+#       within the Gradle project.
