 Before tackling this tutorial, make sure you have the [Gradle](https://gradle.org) build tool 
 [installed](https://gradle.org/install/) and available on your machine.

-Now you should see two folders along with a number of Gradle specific files that have 
-been created. It is beyond the scope of this short tutorial to explain all these artefacts.
-However, we will focus on the `build.gradle` file in the `app` folder.
-
-## Modify the generated `app\build.gradle` file
-
-We have to specify the use of the Gradle plugin in the `plugin` section of the `build.gradle` file.
-So we add `id('org.hibernate.tool.hibernate-tools-gradle') version '7.0.3.Final'` to that section.
-
-Also we need to depend on the java library containing the [H2 database]() drivers.
-This is done in the `dependencies` section of the `gradle.build` file, 
-to which we add `implementation('com.h2database:h2:2.3.232')`.
-To be able to look up this dependency, we add `mavenCentral()` to the `repositories` section 
-of the `gradle.build` file.

-The complete `gradle.build` file can look like the below.
+Now edit the created emtpy file and add the following contents:

+With all the previous elements in place, generating the Java classes from the Sakila database
+becomes as simple as issuing `gradle generateJava` in your command line window.

+```shell

+Congratulations! You have succesfully created Java classes for the Sakila database... Now it's
+probably time to dive somewhat deeper in the available functionality.
