Overview

The simplest way of extending Gradle is write a custom task, which can be declared in-line in build.gradle or can be part of a different artifact.

Custom Task

The simplest way of extending Gradle is write a custom task. The custom task can be declared in-line in the default build script build.gradle. The custom class can also be declared in-line in a separate build script, which is then included from the default build script. The code of the custom task can live in a separate source file, which in turn can be declare in a special area of the Gradle project, or can be share with other projects as part of a library.
