A couple small tasks for debugging gradle

debug.gradle

//debugging task to check the configuration
task list(dependsOn: configurations.compile) << {
    println "classpath = ${configurations.compile.collect {File file -> file.name}}"
}

//debug -- show all dependency files
task showDependencyFiles(dependsOn:configurations.compile) {
     configurations.compile.collect {
        println it
    }
}
