Splitting all output directories in Gradle

Question

Gradle 4.0 came out yesterday and I updated my project for it.

Now I am getting the following warning:

Gradle now uses separate output directories

Answer 1

This is due to the change introduced in Gradle 4.0: it now uses separate output directories if there are multiple language sources.

To return to the old behaviour and get rid of the warning, insert this into your build.gradle:

// Change the output directory for the main source set back to the old path sourceSets.main.output.classesDir = new File(buildDir, "classes/main")
