With the new task declaration scheme, it looks like I'm going to need to make
a lot of changes to the plugins I am using.  Since createTask() is a
deprecated method of Project, how will I go about creating tasks in my
plugin classes?

Currently, I am declaring as follows:

project.createTask('buildTag', dependsOn: 'resources') {
    //task logic
}

How will I achieve the same in Gradle 0.6?


You have a couple of options.

You can use the API which the build script DSL uses, which is to use the add() method on TaskContainer:

project.tasks.add(name: 'buildTag', dependsOn: 'resources') << {
   // task logic
}

There's a couple more examples in the userguide at http://www.gradle.org/0.6.1/docs/userguide/more_about_tasks.html#N109B2

Have a look at the Javadoc for TaskContainer at http://gradle.org/0.6.1/docs/javadoc/org/gradle/api/tasks/TaskContainer.html

Another option, which isn't officially part of the public API (but possibly should be) is to use the task() method on Project:

project.task('buildTag', dependsOn: 'resources') << {
   // task logic
}

This is much closer in syntax to createTask(), except you should note that the closure passed to it is used to configure the task, not treated as its action.
