[gradle-dev] How to use a custom Javac task

[John Murph]

If you use the uiDesigner in IntelliJ IDEA, you must use a special
compiler.  This compiler is freely distributed by IntelliJ and is a drop in
replacement for <javac> called <javac2>.  I had this working with the
following code:

configurations
{
   javac2
}

dependencies
{
   javac2 'com.intellij:javac2:6.0.5'
}
def javac2Config = configurations.javac2

subprojects
{
   compile.doFirst { ant.taskdef(name:'javac',
classname:'com.intellij.ant.Javac2', classpath:javac2Config.asPath) }
}

However, that recently stopped working.  I thought it was due to the source
sets changes, so I tried to change the last line to "compileJava.doFirst..."
but that did not help.  How can I make this work now?  Or is there a better
way?
