#81 introduced support for Gradle projects, however I would advise against counting the
bin
folder as part of the "build files". AFAIK, Gradle only usesbuild
folder for artifacts and.gradle
for Gradle wrapper.I do believe, many people build/download "external" binaries and put them in the
bin
folder. Sometimes, this is a part of automatic build process, and the removal of such binaries is "revertable". However, I also believe that some people (e.g., me, at least) do this manually, since it is being done only once. For example, in the cases when these binaries are necessary only for integration tests or for some extra functionality.Long story short,
bin
folder is definitely should not be considered as "build files".
