Gradle Goodness: Group Similar Tasks

In Gradle we can assign a task to a group. Gradle uses the group for example in the output of $ gradle -t to output all the tasks of the same group together. We only have to set the group property with a value and our task belongs to a group.

In the following sample we add the tasks hello and bye to the group Greeting:

view sourceprint?
00.def GREETING_GROUP = ‘Greeting‘
01. 
02.task hello << {
03.println ‘Hello Gradle!‘
04.}
05.hello.group = GREETING_GROUP
06.hello.description = ‘Say hello.‘
07. 
08.task bye {
09.description= ‘Say goodbye.‘
10.group = GREETING_GROUP
11.}
12.bye << {
13.println ‘Goodbye.‘
14.}

If we run $ gradle -t we get the following output:

:tasks
