Overview
Annotations in custom task types are the cleanest way to declare inputs and outputs. However, simple tasks can be configured to participate in incremental builds by using the Runtime API. There is also the case of the enhanced tasks we don't have source code for. In all these situations, we can configure the task's inputs and outputs with an alternative runtime API:
Task.getInputs() // returns a TaskInputs instance Task.getOutputs() // returns a TaskOutputs instance Task.getDestroyables() // returns a TaskDestroyables instance
