re-run with -feature for details, How to see scala feature warnings when building with gradle?

Question

The gradle scala plugin adds the compileScala task to the project. But sometimes the scala compiler might report something like the following:

$ gradle compileScala 
:compileJava UP-TO-DATE 
:compileScala 
[ant:scalac] warning: there were 3 feature warning(s); re-run with -feature for details     
[ant:scalac] one warning found

BUILD SUCCESSFUL

Total time: 21.796 secs

I tried to re-run with -feature but the gradle build complained as follows:

$ gradle compileScala -feature

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Problem configuring task :compileScala from command line.
> Unknown command-line option '-f'.

* Try:
Run gradle help --task :compileScala to get task usage details. Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

BUILD FAILED

Total time: 4.792 secs

gradle help --task :compileScala did not provide any useful information.

The question is, when using gradle to compile scala code, how does one pass the -feature option to the scala compiler to see the feature warnings?

EDIT

Just in case this is useful:

$ gradle --version

Checking ScalaCompile in the Gradle Build Language Reference leads to:

compileScala { // or: tasks.withType(ScalaCompile)
    scalaCompileOptions.additionalParameters = ["-feature"]
}

By the way, scalaCompileOptions.useAnt = false will switch from the Ant compiler to the incremental Zinc compiler, which is also used by sbt.
