Add the following to "build.gradle" of your web-app:

apply plugin: 'war'
apply from: 'https://raw.github.com/akhikhl/gretty/master/pluginScripts/gretty.plugin'

That’s all! Now you can start your web-app with the command:

gradle appRun

you can also use other Gretty tasks for running and debugging your web-app or configure Gretty to your needs.

Alternatively, you can download the script from https://raw.github.com/akhikhl/gretty/master/pluginScripts/gretty.plugin to the project folder and include it like this:

apply from: 'gretty.plugin'

or feel free inserting to your "build.gradle":

buildscript {
  repositories {
    jcenter()
    // enable this to use snapshot versions of Gretty:
    // maven { url 'http://oss.jfrog.org/artifactory/oss-snapshot-local' }
  }

  dependencies {
    classpath 'org.akhikhl.gretty:gretty:+'
  }
}

repositories {
  jcenter()
  // enable this to use snapshot versions of Gretty:
  // maven { url 'http://oss.jfrog.org/artifactory/oss-snapshot-local' }
}

apply plugin: 'org.akhikhl.gretty'
Note
All release versions of Gretty are available at jcenter and maven central under the group 'org.akhikhl.gretty'.
Note
Snapshot versions of gretty are available at jfrog artifactory (see code above).
