Overview
A Gradle plugin is packaged code that uses the Gradle API to provide additional functionality and extend Gradle core. A Gradle plugin may introduce new tasks, new domain objects, conventions, project layouts and patterns for a specific problem domain. Plugins may even extend the core objects. Introducing their own conventions, plugins are "opinionated", encouraging the user to do things in a certain way. However, well written plugins must provide means to change the default conventions and make it work for non-standard projects.
