I noticed that a gradle daemon process is started always even when using --no-daemon.
When I launch gradle with --no-daemon -i the following is printed in output:
Starting daemon process: workingDir = /home/corneil/.gradle/daemon/2.5, daemonArgs: [/home/corneil/eaf/software/jdk/bin/java, -XX:MaxPermSize=256m, -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError, -Xmx1024m, -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8, -Duser.country=ZA, -Duser.language=en, -Duser.variant, -cp, /home/corneil/eaf/software/gradle-2.5/lib/gradle-launcher-2.5.jar, org.gradle.launcher.daemon.bootstrap.GradleDaemon, 2.5]
