Description

GradleBuilder.js line 57 forcably turns the gradle daemon on, overriding any gradle.properties or GRADLE_OPTS environment variable settings.

This is problematic because when performing concurrent builds (for example, in jenkins with more than one executer) the gradle daemon often crashes, causing the build to fail.

There needs to be an option (in config.xml) to disable use of the gradle daemon or better still, an option to not force the use of the gradle daemon and leave it up the the proper mechanisms (gradle.properties or GRADLE_OPTS) to disable or enable it.
