Output from gradle is hidden causing circle CI to timeout and causing issues in debugging

[deantray]

CircleCI starts a timeout timer when logs stop and normally if you have gradle output, on a hang, logs may stop 10 minutes in. Instead, the hang appears to start 10 minutes early. We had to increase timeout to 60 minutes which is really bad in case of real hang in that it waits 60 minutes instead of 10 minutes from when gradle output starts.

Another issue is we ran into issues and added System.out.println("asdfsdf") to gradle build and it is not output to circle CI as it goes to a file. This is quite annoying as well.

While the summary is quite nice, the gradle output for debugging far outweighs the verboseness (which I understand is also annoying).

Worst case, let developers configure the gradle logging to be on.
