These properties can be set directly in the build script.
For example, setting the HTTP proxy host would be done with `System.setProperty('http.proxyHost', 'www.somehost.org')`.

Alternatively, the properties can be <<build_environment.adoc#sec:gradle_configuration_properties,specified in `gradle.properties`>>.

*Example 1:* Configuring an HTTP proxy using `gradle.properties`:
====
----
systemProp.http.proxyHost=www.somehost.org

                writer.println("# This file was generated by the Gradle 'init' task.");

                writer.println();
            }
            writer.println("org.gradle.parallel=true");
            writer.println("org.gradle.caching=true");

                ),
                containsString("You may need to configure the client to allow other protocols to be used."),
                containsString(documentationRegistry.getDocumentationRecommendationFor("on this", "build_environment", "sec:gradle_system_properties"))
            )
        )
    }

    def "build fails when user specifies `https.protocols` that are not supported by the server"() {
        given:

                + new DocumentationRegistry().getDocumentationRecommendationFor("on this", "build_environment", "sec:gradle_system_properties"))

differ from the Daemon's JVM requirements, the Daemon is not compatible.

== Performance Impact

The Daemon can reduce build times by 15-75% when you build the same project repeatedly.

Instead, it will wait until no additional changes are detected for a certain period of time - the quiet period.
You can configure the quiet period in milliseconds by the Gradle property `<<build_environment.adoc#sec:gradle_configuration_properties,org.gradle.continuous.quietperiod>>`.

== Terminating Continuous Build

The `gradle.properties` helps with keeping properties separate from the build script and should be explored as viable option.
It's a good location for placing <<build_environment.adoc#sec:gradle_configuration_properties,properties that control the build environment>>.

A typical project setup places the `gradle.properties` file in the root directory of the build.

<6> JDKs downloaded by the <<toolchains.adoc#sec:provisioning, toolchain support>>.
<7> Distributions downloaded by the <<gradle_wrapper.adoc#gradle_wrapper_reference,Gradle Wrapper>>.
<8> Global <<build_environment.adoc#sec:gradle_configuration_properties,Gradle configuration properties>>.

[[dir:gradle_user_home:cache_cleanup]]
=== Cleanup of caches and distributions
Gradle automatically cleans its user home directory.
