You can define such rules yourself.
build.gradleVersion gives you the version number.
As a string -- which is fine. Development versions have numbering

are of the form X.Y.Z so cannot be given a real number

this means doing things like splitting on . and then testing.
All this is boilerplate code and I think therefore something should be
added to Gradle to allow for version number testing. I guess this
means
a small class to represent the version numbers so that it can then
have
the operators implementing a total order.
build.gradleVersion would then become an instance of this class with
the
standard transformations to a string.
Good point. Could you write a Jira to provide such a Version class? An
implementation would also be excellent :)
