What you can do is not to use ~/gradle.properties for specifying
gradle_installPath but ~/init.gradle.
addBuildListener(new MyBuildListener())
class MyBuildListener extends BuildAdapter {
public void projectsLoaded(Gradle gradle) {
gradle.rootProject.gradle_
installPath = <someStatement>
}
}
Eventually we should provide a groovier way of doing things. Something like:
projectsLoaded {
rootProject.gradle_installPath = <someStatement>
}
