Hello. Is it possible to get access to project api of gradle project. I mean i need to know version, groupId, properties of projects and etc.

P.S. Mb like this \>

ProjectConnection conn = getConnection(anActionEvent.getProject().getBaseDir().getPath(), s);

GradleProject gp = conn.getModel(GradleProject.class);

System.out.println(GUtil.loadProperties(gp.getBuildScript().getSourceFile()));

Is there information you need that is not exposed by the [‘Project’](http://www.gradle.org/docs/current/javadoc/org/gradle/api/Project.html) interface? Also, where are you trying to access the project from (build script, init script, script plugin, binary plugin, etc)?
