Nontemplates Not Working?

[crgardner]

Items in my .nontemplates file seem to be ignored, as the plugin attempts to interpret files, including files in the gradle directory as templates. Details are below.

environment:

$ gradle --version

If I get rid of the intermediate __projectName__ directory I don't have this problem. Is there a way to use a templates/__projectName__ directory to make this work?
