In the ~/.gradle/gradle.properties file, I used to be able to have:

        gradle_installPath = /${user.home}/lib/JavaPackages/gradle-trunk
        
which worked because the Ant copy task got used and properties got
expanded.  Now that the Gradle copy task is used, properties are not
expanded and I am forced to write the full explicit path.

I find this a real blocking irritation as I have different home
directories on different machines and yet they all share by NFS this
same file.  It means I have to edit the file or give explicit command
options to install on each machine.

I think therefore that the either I am missing something (most likely)
or the Gradle installation action needs amending to allow for property
expansion on paths.

For Gant I organized things so that:

        gant_installPath = 
${System.properties.'user.home'}/lib/JavaPackages/gant-trunk

works fine.

Thanks.
