Gradle does not combine all tasks given on the command line but performs
separate builds for each task. For example if you do "gradle resources
compile" it does
- (create tasks)
- init
- resources
- (create tasks)
- init
- resources
- compile
You can do something like "gradle -PmyProperty=foo resources", which sets
the property on the project, e.g. println "My property is: ${myProperty}" //
that's Groovy ;-)
