Gradle JavaExec StandardOutput to include Java command

Question

Is it possible to add in the java command to the standardOutput stream on a JavaExec command in Gradle?

Ie

task importSitesDef(dependsOn: init, type: JavaExec) {
    main = 'com.x'
    classpath = configurations.runE
    standardOutput = new FileOutputStream(standardLog, true)
}

Will log the output but I want to see java com.x -cp ... in the file too before the input.

This is due to using the same output stream/file for multiple tasks and its very hard to tell where the output from one task finished before another one starts.

Answer 1

I know this is an old question but all I did to get the Java command used was to get the output of the JavaExec commandLine method and join it's elements, like so:-

commandLine.collect().join(' ')

Then output it.
