Excellent.. at least I don't feel that bad. looking at the mentions of
"destinationDir" in the 0.8 User guide.. it is (impossible?) to deduce they
apply to the War plugin/task.
Best I could find in the current docs:
Archives have a destinationDir property to specify where the generated archive
should be placed. It has also an archivePath property, which returns a File
object with the absolute path of the generated archive.
That sentence isn't near War or Jar per se .
Thanks Hans, as always, for the amazingly quick and clear answers. You are the
reason Gradle is going to succeed (okay, one of the reasons i'm sure, but I
can be extra nice!)
