Hi, generally I'd agree with Magnus. You can use your own model for this purpose. There is at least one big advantage to this: your model can work with older Gradle releases. I think if we add this to GradleProject we won't be able to adapt instances obtained from older providers to give you that information.
I'd like to see that information available for example to implement http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/javadoc/org-netbeans-modules-queries/org/netbeans/spi/queries/SharabilityQueryImplementation.html in NetBeans plugin). Adding this to BasicGradleProject can be OK. It seems simple enough and we want to keep its related model ligthweight. Some other comments below.

If you need to know where Gradle puts output files you need this API. Perhaps if you can point us to your bug reports we can find some good way how to solve this. -Radim > > Many thanks, > -Alex >
