  TaskInputPropertyBuilder | Describes an input property of a task.
  TaskInputs | A `TaskInputs` represents the inputs for a task.

  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`.

- 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.
