gradle only executes tasks in the default lifecycle. you could run "gradle
copyToLib".
you can also hook it into a lifecycle task by using
someLifecycleTask.dependsOn("copyToLib"). e.g:
prepareResources.dependsOn("copyToLib")
This way, "copyToLib" will be executed before "prepareResources". you could
hook into any task that is executed by default (the available tasks depends
on your plugins - e.g. jar or compileJava for java plugin).
If it executed all custom tasks, you would have no control over which custom
tasks were executed as specific lifecycle points.
