I also wonder why the current hack we have in place (LUCENE-9471) doesn't
work... or maybe I do know - this seems like it's resolving to
project-relative path instead of user home-relative path.
configure(rootProject) {
gradle.buildFinished {
rootProject.delete fileTree(".gradle/tmp").matching {
include "gradle-worker-classpath*"
}
}
}
