Using the depend option actually helps with many of these kinds of

I have almost forgotten about that. We discussed it in our last dev
skype conference whether to make it default or not. I argued not to make
it default but I was very tired then. On the next my arguments didn't
make sense to me but I forgot to pick it up again.
As far as I can tell the only reason not to make it default would be, if
it actually increases the compile time for smaller projects.
Gradle's own build just doesn't use it.
I'm all for changing this or to make it default.

Actually I think I'll have to retract my previous assertion. The depend option
is only useful for java compiles, not for groovy compiles. It is only
implemented in AntJavac because the ant depend task only works with Java sources
:( If you did change AntGroovyc to try to use this task, it would force
deletion of all classes generated from Groovy sources each time - not what you want.
I don't think this will be helpful for mixed Java/Groovy source trees.
The gradle-ui project could probably use this since (in spite of being under
src/main/groovy) it currently only uses java sources (it has some groovy tests).
The gradle-core project, however, is a truly mixed source project.
