    Mobile Platform as a Service:Environment configuration for the component-based method

    Last Updated:Feb 10, 2026

    This topic describes how to configure the development environment on different operating systems before developing client applications.

    Before developing a client, you must configure your development environment:

    Configure the Windows development environment

    Follow these instructions to configure the Windows development environment.

    Configure the Java 8 environment

    The mPaaS framework supports only Java Development Kit (JDK) 8 and later.

    1. Download and install JDK 8.

    2. Set the JAVA_HOME environment variable and add its bin folder to the PATH environment variable.

    3. After the configuration is complete, run the java -version command. The JDK version information appears: java_version_cmd.png

    Configure the Gradle 4.4 environment

    The mPaaS framework supports only Gradle 4.4.

    Use Gradle Wrapper (recommended)

    1. If your project already uses Gradle Wrapper for builds, change the version number to 4.4 in the /gradle/wrapper/gradle.properties file.

    2. If your project does not use Gradle Wrapper, ensure that your global Gradle version is 4.4. Then, run the gradle wrapper --gradle-version=4.4 command to install a Gradle wrapper. You can then build your project using ./gradlew. This method minimizes changes to your development environment.

    Use standalone Gradle

    1. Download

    2. Unzip the .zip package. Set the GRADLE_HOME environment variable to the unzipped path and add its bin folder to the PATH environment variable.

    3. After the configuration is complete, run the gradle -v command. The Gradle version information appears: gradle_v_cmd.png
