How to set the project name group version plus source target compatibility in the same file

Question

I intend to generalize the use of gradle for my projects and would like to reuse the same build file everywhere  Unfortunately  I have trouble trying to define the properties mentioned in  subject in a single file  in order to ease the migration   This is gradle 1 6   What I have tried  failing at all attempts    gradle properties  cannot modify name  read only  have to use a settings gradle and override the root project name     source target Compatibility not taken into account  settings gradle   source target Compatibility not taken into account either    So  what is the correct method to achieve this  What I have tried so far in gradle properties   group   something name   whatever    cannot do  version   whatever sourceCompatibility   whatever   not taken into account    And in settings gradle   sourceCompatibility    whatever      not taken into account    EDIT Well  the  name  problem just cannot be solved  for the rest  I have used another file which I apply in the build file  The  name  handling really isn t right     EDIT 2 This is now 2014 and gradle 1 12  and the problem still is not solved

Apparently this would be possible in settings gradle with something like this   rootProject name    someName  gradle rootProject       it sourceCompatibility    1 7      I recently received advice that a project property can be set by using a closure which will be called later when the Project is available

I found the solution to a similar problem  I am using Gradle 1 11  as April  2014    The project name can be changed directly in settings gradle file as following     rootProject name  YourNewName    This takes care of uploading to repository  Artifactory w  its plugin for me  with the correct artifactId

I set the artifact baseName so it is independent of the build project name  which allows me to achieve what you want    jar       baseName  core      With this property set  even if my project name is  foo   when I run gradle install  the artifact is published with the name core instead of foo
