Task Properties & Configuration

Custom Gradle tasks can be made highly flexible by adding properties. These properties act like variables that allow you to configure a task's behavior from your build.gradle script.

Using properties makes your custom tasks reusable and adaptable to different project needs without having to change their core logic.

To add a property to a custom task, you simply declare a public field within your task class. For basic types like String, int, or boolean, this is straightforward.

For more advanced scenarios, Gradle also offers dedicated Property types, but we'll start with simple declarations.
