The Java application for finding files built by the Gradle
For the operation there must be the starting directory specified. It can be done by the directory browsing or manual by entering the value. So finds the application all files in the directory and in all subdirectories.
For the searching by the file name must be also the file mask specified. The file mask must be entered as the file name substring (for example .java), not as the operating system mask (for example *.java)
Now in March 2020 my version of Java is (OpenJDK) 12.0.2 and my version of Gradle is 5.2.1. I also successfully tested old Java version (SE) 1.7.0_80 and Gradle 4.10.3.
The current Java compatibility setting in the project is the version 1.7. If You want to set the version 1.8 or newer, please change the line sourceCompatibility = 1.7 of build.gradle file.

- the batch _make.cmd builds the project, it creates the executable JAR file (Java archive) and the EXE file (Windows executable)
- the batch _run_java_archive.cmd launches the Java archive file in the build\libs directory
- the batch _run_windows_executable.cmd launches the Windows executable file in the build\launch4j directory
- the batch _clean.cmd deletes files and directories created at the time of Gradle building
- build the project by the command
gradle assemble build createExe - launch the Java archive file by the command
java -jar build/libs/filesfinder-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
Warning - both files settings.gradle and build.gradle have the Windows line endings (CR+LF), not Linux line endings (LF)
