Kind of.
Classes defined in script plugins are not visible to their “parents”. They are
not on the compile classpath, because script plugin application happens at
runtime. Moreover, class references in Groovy are not actually dynamic. So, you
have to manually export the class literal across classloader boundaries, making
a variable of type class available. This is usually done as a project extra
property
build.gradle:
apply from: "someTaskDefinition.gradle"
task fancyTask(type: FancyTask) {}
someTaskDefinition.gradle:
class FancyTask extends DefaultTask {}
ext.FancyTask = FancyTask
In build.gradle it looks like you're using a class literal, but it's a project
property whose value is a class.
