Prevent Gradle Workers from taking focus! #DevelopersLikeComfort

GradleWorkersPleaseStopTakingFocus.gradle

// You can place it in the root build.gradle

allprojects {
  tasks.withType(JavaForkOptions) {
    // Forked processes like GradleWorkerMain for tests won't steal focus!
    jvmArgs '-Djava.awt.headless=true'
  }
}

Thank you!

Another Mac OS specific flag -Dapple.awt.UIElement=true

for whatever reason, the jvmArgs thing stopped working for me recently. I had to add this to my .bashrc: export JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS='-Djava.awt.headless=true'

Uh, same for me, thanks for receipt @edenman
