the easiest way to pass spring profiles to `gradle bootRun` is (for me) by environment variable (e.g. `SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE`), when run on commandline.

Unlike the *Application* configurations, the config for gradle tasks does not provide an input for environment variables. And as *VM options* don't get picked up either as it seems, I can not run those tasks from the IDE.

I am aware, that I could start IntelliJ with the envvar set, but this seems rather cumbersome.

So what I need is the IntelliJ pendant for `SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE=dev,testdb gradle bootRun`, unless there is a good reason, they have left this out.

System is linux, intellij 14. The project in question is using springboot and I want to move over from running `main` in IntelliJ to running with *springloaded*+`bootRun` and separate `compileGroovy` calls as IntelliJ is not "understanding" the gradle file completely and therefor hides errors.
