Actually there are 3 places where gradle.properties
can be placed:
GRADLE_USER_HOME
environment variable, which if not set defaults to USER_HOME/.gradlemyProject2
in your case)myProject
)Gradle looks for gradle.properties
in all these places while giving precedence to properties definition based on the order above. So for example, for a property defined in gradle user home directory (#1) and the sub-project (#2) its value will be taken from gradle user home directory (#1).
You can find more details about it in gradle documentation here.
