The build.gradle file isn't useful outside of gordon

Hello @spullara I need to be honest about the fact that my knowledge about gradle is.. let's say... "limited" :D so I would love to hear about specific use cases where the current approach might feel "wrong" to a Java developer, because I have total no idea!

When gordon calls gradle it does something like... $ gordon build -Ptarget={target} but for what I get from your message, IDEs don't like that target parameter and (perhaps) making it optional... or have a default value might be a good idea?

Assuming the target is not a "fixed" value, and that gordon needs to have the possibility to change it's value between builds... which would be your suggestion?

I added a gradle.properties file that sets target=dev and that seems to satisfy the command line client and the IDE. Your command line setting will override that so it may be a general solution. Personally, I don't use gradle for Java development at all — have always used Maven but I'm willing to deal with it to use your project :)
