Hi,

In GradleLauncher , we can pass parameters to task using ProjectProperties. Eg: something like this

```gradle
Map<String,String> projectProperties = new HashMap<String, String>();
  projectProperties.put("Name", "xxxx");
  startParameterArgs.setProjectProperties(projectProperties);

```

How to achieve the same using gradle-tooling-api ??

The javadoc contains the samples: [http://gradle.org/docs/current/javadoc/org/gradle/tooling/BuildLauncher.html](http://gradle.org/docs/current/javadoc/org/gradle/tooling/BuildLauncher.html)

Hope that helps!
