Can someone tell me what the Gradle equivalent is? (Or more likely point me at the right bit of the manual.) Our clean task is primitive and only allows you to define the directory that should be deleted. I guess that the delete Ant task is used for the actual cleaning? If so then all that is required is extension of the current class. This covers only Clean though what about user defined classes and files for compilation. The Gant includeTargets and includeTool are fairly general ways for people to structure things, Clean is just a specific pre-defined example. We have plugins and tasks as the Gradle-provided general mechanisms for reuse (ignoring the fact that groovy is one giant reuse mechanism). BTW, I had a (really quick) look for some docs on Gant target sets, but couldn't find any. Can you point me at some?
