Found some documentation on how to configure the "compileJava" task. Hope this helps others.
Starting from: http://www.gradle.org/java_plugin http://www.gradle.org/java_plugin In the table which lists all the tasks, I found the "compileJava" task and noticed that its type is *Compile*. Following the link to the documentation for the *Compile* type, I saw that there is an field named *options* of type *CompileOptions*. Following the doc link for the *CompileOptions* type, I found the fields I can set on the options member of the compileJava task. So setting the encoding for the compileJava task looks like: compileJava { options.encoding = "UTF-8" } -- View this message in context: http://gradle.1045684.n5.nabble.com/Java-plugins-compileJava-task-seems-to-be-treating-warnings-as-errors-Fails-build-tp4959052p4959074.html Sent from the gradle-user mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, please visit: http://xircles.codehaus.org/manage_email
