Description

The Gradle command for running the WordCount example on Dataflow does not actually use the Dataflow Runner. See: https://beam.apache.org/get-started/quickstart-java/#run-wordcount-using-gradle

But if you add `--runner=DataflowRunner` to -Dexec.args, you get an error: `Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unknown 'runner' specified 'DataflowRunner', supported pipeline runners [DirectRunner, PortableRunner, TestUniversalRunner]`

Per lcwik: "It is likely that the profiles in Maven aren't being converted over correctly to Gradle. (e.g. the additional stuff that -Pdataflow-runner is doing such as adding the DataflowRunner dep to the runtime classpath)"

So it looks like we actually need to finish implementing the Maven-to-Gradle conversion.
