Import Project from Gradle. Page 1

Item	Description
Gradle project	Specify the address of the `build.gradle` file of the project you want to import. Type the path manually, or click the browse button and locate the desired file in the file chooser dialog.
Create directories for empty content roots automatically	Select this option to add a `src` directory to your project automatically when you import a project from Gradle model.
Create separate module per source set	Select this check box to use the source set feature in resolving your Gradle projects.
Use default gradle wrapper (not configured for the current project)	Select this option to use Gradle wrapper. Using Gradle wrapper lets you get automatic Gradle download for the build. It also lets you build with the precise Gradle version.
Use customizable gradle wrapper	Select this option to configure a Gradle wrapper inside your `build.gradle` file. In this case IntelliJ IDEA ensures that the configured customizable wrapper settings are used for working with Gradle.
Use local gradle distribution	Select this option to run local build scripts.
Gradle home	By default, IntelliJ IDEA displays the path to the Gradle installation, as defined in the `GRADLE_HOME` environment variable, or specified as the Gradle home project setting. If the path is unknown, or you want to use a different Gradle installation, click the browse button and locate the desired directory in the path chooser dialog.
Project format	Select the format in which you want to store your project. For the details on the two available formats, refer to the Project section.
Global Gradle Settings	Use this area to set global Gradle settings. You can select from the following options: Offline work - use this check box to work with Gradle in the offline mode. In this case Gradle will use dependencies from the cache. Gradle will not attempt to access the network to perform dependency resolution. If required dependencies are not present in the dependencies' cache, a build execution will fail. Service directory path - use this field to override the default Gradle home location directory. Gradle VM options - use this field to specify VM options for your Gradle project. When specifying the options, follow these rules: Use spaces to separate individual options, for example, `-client -ea -Xmx1024m`. If an option includes spaces, enclose the spaces or the argument that contains the spaces in double quotes, for example, `some" "arg` or `"some arg"`. If an option includes double quotes (e.g. as part of the argument), escape the double quotes by means of the backslashes, for example, `-Dmy.prop=\"quoted_value\"`.
