Thanks for the tip. I tried this:
gradle -Dorg.gradle.parallel.intra=true taska taskb
but it still doesn’t seem to make a difference. I also tried creating a 3rd task that just depends on the other two and executing that (in case dependencies are parsed differently from tasks directly on the command line), but still no luck. I’m using Gradle 2.11 by the way.
I can dive into the source a little more and see what I can figure out, but let me know if you can think of anything else I’m missing. Thanks!
