All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Comparable<Task>`, `org.gradle.api.internal.DynamicObjectAware`, `org.gradle.api.internal.IConventionAware`, `org.gradle.api.internal.TaskInternal`, `Named`, `ExtensionAware`, `Task`, `Configurable<Task>`

Direct Known Subclasses:
  `CreateStartScripts`

@DisableCachingByDefault(because="Not worth caching") public abstract class CreateStartScripts extends org.gradle.api.internal.ConventionTask
Creates start scripts for launching JVM applications.

Example:

     task createStartScripts(type: CreateStartScripts) {
       outputDir = file('build/sample')
       mainClass = 'org.gradle.test.Main'
       applicationName = 'myApp'
       classpath = files('path/to/some.jar')
     }

Note: the Gradle `"application"` plugin adds a pre-configured task of this type named `"startScripts"`.

The task generates separate scripts targeted at Microsoft Windows environments and UNIX-like environments (e.g. Linux, macOS). The actual generation is implemented by the `getWindowsStartScriptGenerator()` and `getUnixStartScriptGenerator()` properties, of type `ScriptGenerator`.

Example:

     task createStartScripts(type: CreateStartScripts) {
       unixStartScriptGenerator = new CustomUnixStartScriptGenerator()
       windowsStartScriptGenerator = new CustomWindowsStartScriptGenerator()
     }

     class CustomUnixStartScriptGenerator implements ScriptGenerator {
       void generateScript(JavaAppStartScriptGenerationDetails details, Writer destination) {
         // implementation
       }
     }

     class CustomWindowsStartScriptGenerator implements ScriptGenerator {
       void generateScript(JavaAppStartScriptGenerationDetails details, Writer destination) {
         // implementation
       }
     }

The default generators are of the type `TemplateBasedScriptGenerator`, with default templates. This templates can be changed via the `TemplateBasedScriptGenerator.setTemplate(org.gradle.api.resources.TextResource)` method.

The default implementations used by this task use Groovy's SimpleTemplateEngine to parse the template, with the following variables available:

- `applicationName` - See `JavaAppStartScriptGenerationDetails.getApplicationName()`.
- `optsEnvironmentVar` - See `JavaAppStartScriptGenerationDetails.getOptsEnvironmentVar()`.
- `exitEnvironmentVar` - See `JavaAppStartScriptGenerationDetails.getExitEnvironmentVar()`.
- `moduleEntryPoint` - The module entry point, or `null` if none. Will also include the main class name if present, in the form `[moduleName]/[className]`.
- `mainClassName` - The main class name, or usually `""` if none. For legacy reasons, this may be set to `--module [moduleEntryPoint]` when using a main module. This behavior should not be relied upon and may be removed in a future release.
- `entryPointArgs` - The arguments to be used on the command-line to enter the application, as a joined string. It should be inserted before the program arguments.
- `defaultJvmOpts` - See `JavaAppStartScriptGenerationDetails.getDefaultJvmOpts()`.
- `appNameSystemProperty` - See `JavaAppStartScriptGenerationDetails.getAppNameSystemProperty()`.
- `appHomeRelativePath` - The path, relative to the script's own path, of the app home.
- `classpath` - See `JavaAppStartScriptGenerationDetails.getClasspath()`. It is already encoded as a joined string.
- `modulePath` (different capitalization) - See `JavaAppStartScriptGenerationDetails.getModulePath()`. It is already encoded as a joined string.

The encoded paths expect a variable named `APP_HOME` to be present in the script, set to the application home directory which can be resolved using `appHomeRelativePath`.

Example:

     task createStartScripts(type: CreateStartScripts) {
       unixStartScriptGenerator.template = resources.text.fromFile('customUnixStartScript.txt')
       windowsStartScriptGenerator.template = resources.text.fromFile('customWindowsStartScript.txt')
     }
