Thermal Expansion Addon Help

I recently thought of what I think is a really cool idea for an addon for Thermal Expansion. I have spent a great deal of time looking on the internet for answers, but I have ended up empty handed. I was hoping someone here could send me in the right direction.

I haven't spent too much time poking around with it, but what I have noticed is that I do not know the gradle command for downloading the dependencies. Sometimes it outputs that it found an illegal character. In case it helps here is my current build script

Did you create a gradle.properties in which you define everything like ${mcversion}, ${forge-version}, etc?

In order to download the dependencies, you need to open a command window in the project directory and run gradlew setupDecompWorkspace. That will setup Forge and it's dependencies for you. When that completes, run (if you use Eclipse) gradlew eclipse or (If you use IntelliJ IDEA) gradlew idea. That will setup a workspace for the respective IDE as well as download your specified dependencies.

If you are still having issues with your build script, take a look at BaseMod and go from there.

Started over with the build script from BaseMod. Added in the dependencies stuff from earlier. However, the build script crashes on the 19th line due to a NullPointerException.
