I've tried updating both

gradle.properties

and properties specified for the `clean`/`build`/`test` tasks, and I get the same bad behavior.

Never mind... too many settings. I discovered that I'd set an overriding program argument in the Gradle properties for my project.

For the

eclipse

plugin, this project-level setting or the same value in

gradle.properies

determine the content of the

.classpath

file it assembles.

For the Gradle tasks (e.g. -

test

), the properties need to be assigned in the task launch configuration.
