Just be aware that these are currently internal classes. This means they may
change or disappear at any time. Instead, you should try to use the
ProjectBuilder class, which is part of the public API, and is included in the
published Gradle JARs (and is documented, tested, and so on).
Over time, we will move more stuff from the internal classes to the public
testing API.
