I have a project with a gradle.properties file that defines a system property for httpProxy. systemProp.http.proxyHost=proxy Is it still possible to overwrite that proxy with a -D command line parameter ? Thanks, |

It's not possible to overwrite gradle.properties with a command line. In a lot of instances, this is a major limitation, and any command line parameter should preferably overwrite existing properties if present. |

This does seem possible now, at least with gradle.properties in project root. In gradle.properties: org.gradle.configureondemand=true org.gradle.parallel=true If I run 'gradle build' I get the warning "Parallel execution with configuration on demand is an incubating feature.", but if I specify "-Dorg.gradle.configureondemand=false -Dorg.gradle.parallel=false" as arguments, no such warning is printed. |

Gradle project properties can be overriden through -D or -P but system properties are immutable at this moment (Gradle 1.12) |

On a related but slightly different subject, when gradle depends on a maven project with a pom.xml that defines and use user defined properties (<properties>), does gradle -Dtheproperty=value will override its value like mvn -Dtheproperty=value would do? It seems to me it is not, but then how to override such value? |
