Setting flexHome in ~/.gradle/gradle.properties

Is there a way to set the flexHome variable in a user's local gradle.properties file (e.g. ~/.gradle/gradle.properties)? I've tried:

flexHome=/opt/flex_sdk_4.6/

And that doesn't seem to get loaded early enough for the compile task to function. I end up with the following NPE:

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.gradlefx.configuration.sdk.SdkInstallLocationFactory.createSdkLocation(SdkInstallLocationFactory.groovy:62)

For now I'm just setting FLEX_HOME as a system variable but I would really like to keep environment specific properties constrained to gradle.properties files.

Thanks!

   I should note that when I set this property in ~/.gradle/gradle.properties, it does print the value if I just dump the following into the build script:

   println "flexHome = ${flexHome}"

   Hi Mike,

   I've just tried to use a flexHome property defined in gradle.properties and my build picked it up nicely.
   It seems though (based on the stacktrace) like it can't find the GradleFx convention object, which might indicate some other problem which isn't related to your flexHome variable.

   Which version of Gradle and GradleFx are you using?
   Are you using a custom modified version of GradleFx?

   I'm using gradleFX 0.8.3 without any customization and Gradle 1.10.
