Thanks for the responses.
The requirements for testing, data store connection & access in thread
specific vs. non-thread specific scenarios call for more the second approach
at the Gradle task level.
On a personal note, I'm in the process of migrating from Ant, using Gradle
more in day to day work. Started down the road to a rudimentary version of
the approach mentioned but wanted to ask the community if there was a more
elegant solution or I just wasn't missing something obvious. :confused:
