Overriding the Rule Set from a Project Property

You may substitute a rule or set of rules for those that were defined in a project's gradleLint extension object by defining the gradleLint.rules property.

For example, ./gradlew fixGradleLint -PgradleLint.rules=myrule1,myrule2. Override with multiple rules by comma separating the rule ids in the property definition.

At Netflix, we use this override feature to run a single rule against a large batch of projects. In this way, we can batch update gradle wrappers, declaratively pull projects up to a minimum version of a third party library like Guava, etc.
