Hi Kevin,

jOOQ's code generator doesn't really know *how* you run it. I'm not a
Gradle guru myself, but build tools often set base directories in one way
or another (e.g. where you run the gradle process isn't the same as where
the project resides, or the parent project in case you have modules, etc.)
Personally, I never trust my judgement in understanding this behaviour, and
instead, always use explicit environment variables, system properties or
other well known variables. So, telling jOOQ explicitly what $projectDir
means to you, which is a well known, documented variable, does seem quite
alright, no? Why wouldn't it be?

See:
https://docs.gradle.org/current/dsl/org.gradle.api.Project.html#N14F19

Cheers,
Lukas
