How to use gradle properties in build.gradle

Question

When I run this task:

task tmpTask << {
    project.properties.each {println \"   $it\"}
}

I see:

org.gradle.java.home=/u

For anyone else's benefit. If the property you define is not dot separated, then you can simply refer to it directly.

In your gradle.properties:

myProperty=This is my direct property
my.property=This is my dotted property with\t\t tabs \n and newlines

In your build.gradle:

// this works
println myProperty
println project.property('my.property')

// this will not
println my.property
