This version is correct:
build.gradle:
task printProps << {
// I'd use System.getProperty("Password") but it won't make a difference
println System.properties["Password"] // Java equivalent:
System.getProperties().get("Password")
}
$ gradle -DPassword=test printProps
Give it another try. Maybe you just mixed something up.
