Ability to pass system properties to runIdea and test tasks

[zolotov]

Workaround:

afterEvaluate {
  tasks.getByName('runIdea') {
    systemProperty 'name', 'value'
  }
}

How about jvmArgs?

runIdea {
    jvmArgs += "-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5007"
}

(unless there's an alternative to running IDEA in debug mode :) )

@amolenaar Eclipse, NetBeans and IDEA support running gradle tasks in debug mode.

E.g.:

Also, since runIdea is just JavaExec task, you can specify jvmArgs in following way:

afterEvaluate {
    tasks.getByName('runIdea') {
        jvmArgs('-myArgs')
    }
}

I don't see any reasons to add some extra syntax sugar for this so far.

Thanks @zolotov, I did not consider this option.
