[gradle-user] Evolving a task configuration into a new task type

[Merlyn Albery-Speyer]

Hey all,

How should I best evolve a configuration of a task into a new task type?
The main problem I'm having is keeping my configuration code the same,
and still being able to have a configure phase that comes after the task
inputs have been set. I tried putting the configuration inside a doFirst
in the constructor. Any hints?

Cheers,
Merlyn

apply plugin: 'java'
class OneJar extends Jar {
        String mainClass
        def runtime
        def jar
        
        OneJar() {
                def oneJarClasses =
project.sourceSets.thirdparty.classes
                jar = project.tasks.jar
                runtime = project.configurations.runtime
                
                def jar = project.tasks.jar
                        
                configure {
                        appendix = 'onejar'
                        manifest {
                        attributes  'Created-By':'Gradle OneJar task',

'Main-Class':'com.simontuffs.onejar.Boot',

'One-Jar-Main-Class': mainClass
                        }
                
                        from oneJarClasses
                
                        into('lib') {
                                from runtime    
                        }
                
                        into('main') {
                                from jar.archivePath
                                rename { 'main.jar' }
                        }
                }
        }
}
