Gradle System Properties
Internal
Overview
System properties can be provided with the -D command-line options, loaded from ~/.gradle/gradle.properties or from the project's gradle.properties. Explain precedence.
Properties
org.gradle.console
Sets console output coloring and verbosity.
org.gradle.daemon
org.gradle.debug
Starts Gradle in debug mode with the JVM listening on port 5005. Used together with --no-daemon. For more details see:
org.gradle.java.home
Specifies the Java home for the Gradle build process.
org.gradle.jvmargs
Specifies the JVM arguments for the Gradle build process. TODO: https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/build_environment.html#sec:configuring_jvm_memory
Attaching a Debugger to a Gradle Daemon
A Gradle daemon can be started in debug mode, so an IDE can attach and debug a build, by specifying JVM debug flags which ensure the JVM starts in suspend mode, as follows:
org.gradle.jvmargs="-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=10001"
Note that once a Gradle daemon starts in debug mode, it remains in debug mode so the IDE can attach to it and debug successive builds without restarting the daemon. More details about Gradle debugging are available in:
org.gradle.logging.level
org.gradle.warning.mode
org.gradle.parallel
Parallel mode configuration.
org.gradle.workers.max
Parallel mode configuration.
