easiest hack is to write your code somewhere other than

src/main/java/**

, create a task that copies it with modifications, and add the task to

sourceSets.main.java.srcDir()

. second easiest hack would be similar, but leave the code in

src/main/java/**

and use

sourceSets.main.java.setSrcDirs()

so that it doesn't try looking there in the first place. (this is liable to confuse the IDE, but if that's what you gotta do…)
