This is a very good reason to separate the two. Eclipse happily generates .class files even on compile failures, so you can end up with the very confusing situation of gradle thinking everything is ok when it ain't. Very confusing to a new users, and then once you know what it going on you do a lot of "gradle clean" negating any benefit of the shared compile space. I have been bitten by this one more times than I can count! :(
