Description
When programming a build, one has to know what methods are availbable, e.g.
subprojects { ... }
dependencies { ... }
mavenCentral()
It's all too easy to forget or misspell those names.
The same is true for available properties.
One approach would be to list those items in the documentation in a single place (at least for the known ones, not the tasks that are available as methods, of course).
A second approach would be a method that lists them to stdout.
Third, the --gui could lists those (beyond what it does for tasks).
Best, of course, would be IDE-internal help. For IntellijIDEA, that could be done via gdsl.
