I think this is the wrong position to take.  If I have to start
constructing my own lifecycle framework because the standard one is
insufficiently parameterized and yet I have a standard lifecycle
project, then the Gradle realization of convention over configuration
has failed me.  Alternatively you need to advertise that Gradle supports
only the inferior JUnit and discriminates against the superior TestNG.

If you think the solution is easy, perhaps you can convince me by
showing me what sort of code I should have in my build.gradle file?
