Gradle Module Generator

📦 About

VS Code extension that simplifies the creation of Gradle modules in multi-module projects with Spring Boot. Automatically generate complete module structures for libraries or applications with a simple click.

✨ Features

• ✅ Quick Gradle module creation
• ✅ Two module types:
  • Library/Component: Reusable modules (Domain, Infrastructure, etc)
  • Spring Boot Application: Executable modules with @SpringBootApplication
• ✅ Automatic generation of:
  • Configured build.gradle
  • Java package structure
  • Sample classes
  • Unit tests
  • Module README
• ✅ Automatic settings.gradle update
• ✅ Security validation (prevents path traversal)
• ✅ Explorer context menu (right-click)
