 Description   

When running my unit tests, I would like to be able to add a profile-specific directory to the testRuntime classpath. I can achieve this using the following configuration:

dependencies {
    ...
    testRuntime files("path/to/profile/directory")
}

As a Gradle beginner it took me a while to figure out how to do this. It would be very handy if this was added as an example to the documentation of the Java plugin.
