Wow, very cool!  Thanks for the tool David!


I had more trouble testing it.

You mean compile tests using the current project version but run tests
against an older version?  If so, by far the easiest option will be a
separate sourceSet.  Here you can use the project dependency in testCompile
and the older version in testRuntime.

If that's not what you mean, can you explain some more?
