GeneratorTask (Gradle API 2.14.1)

org.gradle.plugins.ide.api

## Class GeneratorTask<T>

- java.lang.Object
- - org.gradle.api.internal.AbstractTask
  - - org.gradle.api.DefaultTask
    - - org.gradle.api.internal.ConventionTask
      - - org.gradle.plugins.ide.api.GeneratorTask<T>

- Type Parameters:
    `T` - The domain object for the configuration file.
  All Implemented Interfaces:
    Comparable<Task>, org.gradle.api.internal.DynamicObjectAware, org.gradle.api.internal.IConventionAware, org.gradle.api.internal.TaskInternal, ExtensionAware, Task, org.gradle.util.Configurable<Task>
  Direct Known Subclasses:
    PropertiesGeneratorTask, XmlGeneratorTask

      public class GeneratorTask<T>
      extends org.gradle.api.internal.ConventionTask

  A `GeneratorTask` generates a configuration file based on a domain object of type T. When executed the task:

  - loads the object from the input file, if it exists.
  - Calls the beforeConfigured actions, passing the object to each action.
  - Configures the object in some task-specific way.
  - Calls the afterConfigured actions, passing the object to each action.
  - writes the object to the output file.

          public void setInputFile(File inputFile)

      Sets the input file to load the initial configuration from.
      Parameters:
        `inputFile` - The input file. Use null to use the output file.

    - #### getOutputFile

          @OutputFile
          public File getOutputFile()

      The output file to write the final configuration to.
      Returns:
        The output file.
