I want to use a single gradle+intellij project to build, run, and test multiple arbitrary binaries created from a single repo and source tree. Some notes:

1) A typical example is the robot world project I'm doing for We Think Code. I want one tree, and I want to use it to build/run/test two clients, a service, and a making app.

2) By "one source tree" I mean one .../src/... hierarchy, with main/test/resources below it. Intellij handles this well. Multiple trees are harder to both organize and navigate.

3) I know how to use sub-projects with source dependencies. I don't care for them. Intellij's gradle runs are already slower than their native ones, and when you throw in multiple sub-projects for each run, they get even slower. 

Do you already have a public repo that has the code organized the way you want it? Might be easier to show concrete options instead of talking in abstractions.
