TaskOutputs	A `TaskOutputs` represents the outputs of a task.
TaskPropertyBuilder	Describes a property of a task.
TaskProvider<T extends Task>	Providers a task of the given type.
TaskReference	A lightweight reference to a task.
TaskState	`TaskState` provides information about the execution state of a `Task`.
VerificationTask	A `VerificationTask` is a task which performs some verification of the artifacts produced by a build.

ScalaRuntime	Provides information related to the Scala runtime(s) used in a project.
SourceTask	A `SourceTask` performs some operation on source files.
Sync	Synchronizes the contents of a destination directory with some source directories and files.
Upload	Deprecated. This class is scheduled for removal in a future version.
WorkResults	Helps access trivial `WorkResult` objects.
WriteProperties	Writes a `Properties` in a way that the results can be expected to be reproducible.

Enum Summary
Enum Description

PathSensitivity
Enumeration of different path handling strategies for task properties.

Enum Summary
Enum	Description
PathSensitivity	Enumeration of different path handling strategies for task properties.

Exception Summary
Exception	Description
StopActionException	A `StopActionException` is be thrown by a task `Action` or task action closure to stop its own execution and to start execution of the task's next action.
StopExecutionException	A `StopExecutionException` is thrown by a `Action` or task action closure to stop execution of the current task and start execution of the next task.
TaskExecutionException	A `TaskExecutionException` is thrown when a task fails to execute successfully.
TaskInstantiationException	A `TaskInstantiationException` is thrown when a task cannot be instantiated for some reason.
VerificationException	Signals that a task has failed in a manner which does not prevent consumers of that task's output from running.

Annotation Types Summary
Annotation Type	Description
CacheableTask	Attached to a task type to indicate that task output caching should be enabled by default for tasks of this type.
Classpath	Marks a property as specifying a JVM classpath for a task.
CompileClasspath	Marks a property as specifying a Java compile classpath for a task.
Console	Attached to a task property to indicate that the property is not to be taken into account for up-to-date checking, because its value only influences the console output of the task.
Destroys	Marks a property as specifying a file or directory that a task destroys.
IgnoreEmptyDirectories	Attached to an input property to specify that directories should be ignored when snapshotting inputs.
Input	Attached to a task property to indicate that the property specifies some input value for the task.
InputDirectory	Marks a property as specifying an input directory for a task.
InputFile	Marks a property as specifying an input file for a task.
InputFiles	Marks a property as specifying the input files for a task.
Internal	Attached to a task property to indicate that the property is not to be taken into account for up-to-date checking.
LocalState	Marks a property as specifying local state for a task.
Nested	Marks a property as specifying a nested bean, whose properties should be checked for annotations.
Optional	Marks a task property as optional.
OutputDirectories	Marks a property as specifying one or more output directories for a task.
OutputDirectory	Marks a property as specifying an output directory for a task.
OutputFile	Marks a property as specifying an output file for a task.
OutputFiles	Marks a property as specifying one or more output files for a task.
PathSensitive	Annotates a task file property, specifying which part of the file paths should be considered during up-to-date checks.
SkipWhenEmpty	Attached to a task property to indicate that the task should be skipped when the value of the property is an empty `FileCollection` or directory.
TaskAction	Marks a method as the action to run when the task is executed.
UntrackedTask	Attached to a task to declare that the task should be untracked.
