- ## Method Details

  - ### from

    ConfigurableFileTree from(Object dir)
    Specifies base directory for this file tree using the given path. The path is evaluated as per `Project.file(Object)`.
    Parameters:
      `dir` - The base directory.
    Returns:
      this

  - ### getDir

    File getDir()
    Returns the base directory of this file tree.
    Specified by:
      `getDir` in interface `DirectoryTree`
    Returns:
      The base directory. Never returns null.

  - ### setDir

    ConfigurableFileTree setDir(Object dir)
    Specifies base directory for this file tree using the given path. The path is evaluated as per `Project.file(Object)`.
    Parameters:
      `dir` - The base directory.
    Returns:
      this

  - ### getBuiltBy

    Set<Object> getBuiltBy()
    Returns the set of tasks which build the files of this collection.
    Returns:
      The set. Returns an empty set when there are no such tasks.

  - ### setBuiltBy

    ConfigurableFileTree setBuiltBy(Iterable<?> tasks)
    Sets the tasks which build the files of this collection.
    Parameters:
      `tasks` - The tasks. These are evaluated as per `Task.dependsOn(Object...)`.
    Returns:
      this

  - ### builtBy

    ConfigurableFileTree builtBy(Object... tasks)
    Registers some tasks which build the files of this collection.
    Parameters:
      `tasks` - The tasks. These are evaluated as per `Task.dependsOn(Object...)`.
    Returns:
      this
