Gradle looks for gradle.properties
files in these places:
GRADLE_USER_HOME
environment variable, which if not set defaults to USER_HOME/.gradle
)Properties from one file will override the properties from the previous ones (so file in gradle user home has precedence over the others, and file in sub-project has precedence over the one in project root).
