Thanks to Calvin Cowie and SOLR-16641 - `./gradlew localSettings` is no longer needed prior to invoking other Gradle commands (ie: check). gradle.properties will be generated the first time gradlew is run. gradle.properties can be updated and documentation has been updated to explain how. As of now, localSettings is a noop so that CI jobs that have that command don't fail.
I am going to remove the localSettings step from the branch_9x and main jobs here - https://ci-builds.apache.org/job/Solr/ Kevin Risden
