| You can open the samples inside an IDE using the IntelliJ native importer or Eclipse Buildship.

This sample shows how to create a plugin with a task that accepts arguments. The plugin is packaged via an included build.

build.gradle.kts

    plugins {
        id("com.example.project-info")
    }

    version = "1.0.2"

settings.gradle.kts

    rootProject.name = "task-with-arguments"
    includeBuild("project-info")

build.gradle

    plugins {
        id 'com.example.project-info'
    }

    version = '1.0.2'

settings.gradle

    rootProject.name = 'task-with-arguments'
    includeBuild('project-info')

To execute the sample task:

    $ ./gradlew projectInfo --format json
    {
        "projectName": "task-with-arguments"
        "version": "1.0.2"
    }
