Hi,
I think there are some inconsistencies in how properties and methods
are inherited by a project. A project inherits the convention and
additional properties of its parent, but inherits all the methods of
its parent, regardless of where they come from. For example, for a
task 'taskA', the 'taskA' property is not inherited, but the task
configuration method taskA(closure) is.
I think we should change this so that a project inherits the
convention and script methods from its parent, but no other methods.
Good point. Could you file a Jira?
It is definitely worth of having a general discussion about
inheritance and configuration injection. I like the concept of
configuration injection. But in multi-project builds to inject for
example dependencies into subprojects means they get resolved multiple
times. This is pretty fast, as the stuff is in the cache. But it is
still wasteful.
