How to use JMH with gradle?

Question

I want to use JMH, an OpenJDK microbenchmark tool, with gradle. However, Im getting the NPE on compilation. On the other hand, JMH works when using from maven.<

Answer 1

I made a very small example project to clone and modify as you like. It's a full working example:
https://gitlab.com/barfuin/jmh-gradle-example

It requires no shadow Jars and no plugins. The project also includes some extra Gradle tasks for printing the classpath, the JMH options, etc., stuff that may help to understand what's going on. It does not teach microbenchmarking though.
