I have a created a simple java "echo" application that takes a user's input and shows it back to them to demonstrate the issue. I can run this application without trouble using IntelliJ's internal "run" command, and also when executing the compiled java file produced by `gradle build`. However, if I try to execute the application using `gradle run`, I get a NoSuchElementException thrown from the scanner. 

I think gradle or the application plugin specifically is doing something strange with the system IO. 

**Application**

```
package org.gradle.example.simple;

import java.util.Scanner;

public class HelloWorld {
  public static void main(String args[]) {
    Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
    String response = input.nextLine();
    System.out.println(response);
  }
}

```

**build.gradle**

```
apply plugin: 'java'
version '1.0-SNAPSHOT'

apply plugin: 'java'

jar {
    manifest {
        attributes 'Main-Class': 'org.gradle.example.simple.HelloWorld'
    }
}

apply plugin: 'application'

mainClassName = "org.gradle.example.simple.HelloWorld"

sourceCompatibility = 1.5

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    testCompile group: 'junit', name: 'junit', version: '4.11'
}

```

Any ideas how to make this application work using `gradle run`?
