[compileJava, compileTestJava]*.options*.compilerArgs = ['-Xlint:none']

This tells GRADLE to suppress all warnings during compilation. The REASON for this is that the framework currently has many warnings, most of which are related to generics usage -- particularly RAW type warnings -- e.g. using Class instead of Class<?>. This is an artifact switching to Java 5 in Spring 3. As with the Javadoc warnings mentioned above, committers are encouraged to fix these warnings whenever POSSIBLE. Once the bulk of them are eliminated, we can switch to -Xlint:all. In the meantime, it's just creates unnecessary noise in the build output.
