Configuring location of Java source files

Our team has a different standard for where Java source and test files reside. How can we tell gradle where these files are?

Hey George, Assuming your team is using the java plugin, you can change the default locations for your source files

sourceSets {
    main {
        java {
            srcDirs =
['src']
        }
        resources {
            srcDirs = ['src']
        }
    }
    test {
        java {
            srcDirs =
['test']
        }
        resources {
            srcDirs = ['test']
        }
    }
}

Have a look at the SourceSet chapter in the gradle userguide (http://gradle.org/docs/current/userguide/java_plugin.html#sec:source_sets ) or at the Gradle DSL reference (http://gradle.org/docs/current/dsl/org.gradle.api.tasks.SourceSet.html)
