drogon compile -p /path/to/drogon/project
drogon compile -p /path/to/drogon/project <gradle flags here>

Features

Drogon offers:

• end-to-end build cycle support for development, testing, and deploying smart contracts
• support for testing Unit and integration tests

• Support for smart contract life cycle management
• Support for unit and integration tests for smart contracts
• Support for REPL interface to interact with public and private networks
• Documentation
