Where to put the gradle.properties file

Question

I am following the Artifactory 1-min Setup. I have Artifactory up and running on my localhost, and now I am trying to integrate it with Intellij/Gradle.

Answer 1

Actually there are 3 places where gradle.properties can be placed:

1. Under gradle user home directory defined by the GRADLE_USER_HOME environment variable, which if not set defaults to USER_HOME/.gradle
2. The sub-project directory (myProject2 in your case)
3. The root project directory (under 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.
