StartParameter (Gradle API 1.0)

java.lang.Object
- org.gradle.logging.LoggingConfiguration
- - org.gradle.StartParameter

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable
```
public class StartParameter
extends org.gradle.logging.LoggingConfiguration
implements Serializable
```
StartParameter defines the configuration used by a GradleLauncher instance to execute a build. The properties of StartParameter generally correspond to the command-line options of Gradle. You pass a StartParameter instance to GradleLauncher.newInstance(StartParameter) when you create a new Gradle instance.

You can obtain an instance of a StartParameter by either creating a new one, or duplicating an existing one using newInstance() or newBuild().
