Each task can have a set of inputs and outputs which are checked for the
incremental build.
and if so, how do I declare such a dependency for custom tasks?

There are two ways to add to the inputs and outputs of a task.
One is via annotating the properties, the other is via the api.
class MyTask extends DefaultTask {
@InputDir
File someDir
Each task has an instance of TaskOutputs and TaskInputs accessible via th
inputs and outputs properties.
You can say stuff like:
inputs.dir 'someDir'
Have a look at the Javadoc for more details. You can even add non file based
input properties (e.g. something like sourcecompatibility).

The API for asking about the results of the incremental build check is not
exposed yet. This is on the list (not for 0.9 though).
