It's largely historical. For the Gradle 1.0 release, we plan to merge the settings.gradle into the build file, so that you can set these values in the same place. The project name will be mostly immutable. It is used to identify the project and its elements (tasks, configurations, etc) in a multi-project build, so once a project has been referenced by name, the name will be 'locked' and it will no longer be possible to change it. -- Adam Murdoch Gradle Developer http://www.gradle.org CTO, Gradle Inc. - Gradle Training, Support, Consulting http://www.gradle.biz
