Difficult to answer. This answer relates to Russel's previous comment. We don't want to require altering the gradle directory. But we've discovered launching gradle has some complexities. This is further complicated when used as a plugin. At the moment, I'm thinking we're going to require the user to specify a gradle installation (on the setup tab), then we'll launch each command in a separate VM (which allows you do fire off multiple simultaneous commands in a safe manner). An alternative is to bundle gradle into the plugin, but I'm not certain how well that would work.

How far along is the Idea plug-in?

We've made a stand-alone GUI for gradle meant to be a foundation for IDE plugins (we specifically need an Idea plugin). While not complete, we'd like to get some initial feedback on this application. This tool does not use command line arguments, but calls Gradle's API directly.

This is very much a work in progress and still has some rough edges. It works against the latest gradle trunk (4/29/09).

Here's a link to a screenshot: http://www.box.net/shared/teikjcnh8z (requires cookies).

To try this out, download the zip from http://www.box.net/shared/nlrbrlqqun.

See the readme.txt file inside the zip file.

We have tested this on Windows XP, Ubuntu 8.10 and OS X (Leopard).
