Usually, you check these things into version control, so you'd be mixing version controlled files and generated files under .gradle. This has all the usual problems of mixing generated and version controlled file: accidental check in of generated files, no easy way to clean, etc. They default to living in gradle/ to keep build related artifacts grouped together outside of the top-level directory. -- Adam Murdoch Gradle Developer http://www.gradle.org CTO, Gradle Inc. - Gradle Training, Support, Consulting http://www.gradle.biz
