Adam, on January 5th you removed several classes from the Open API project of gradle. The comment states that these were unused. These classes are being used by my Idea plugin (which I'm finally back working on trying to see if I can get it into the open source community). I can add them back or you could revert the change, but specifically, I wanted you to be aware they are used by an external project. If you're wondering why, its because the Open API project is trying to shield external users from changes in gradle. My hope was that once gradle hits 1.0, only additions would be made to the Open API thereby gaining backward compatibility for things like IDE plugins and CI servers. I wanted to decouple versions of gradle and IDEs so people can be free to upgrade either at any time (nothing more frustrating than when your latest IDE isn't compatible with your tools). Its also been made generic so many IDE can take advantage of several features in both gradle and the gradle UI.
I'm curious, why doesn't the Gradle GUI use this code? I would have thought an IDE plugin and the Gradle GUI would have pretty much the same needs as far as launching Gradle goes. Which suggests they should use the same code for doing so.
