@CacheableTask public abstract class Groovydoc extends SourceTask

Generates HTML API documentation for Groovy source, and optionally, Java source.

This task uses Groovy's Groovydoc tool to generate the API documentation. Please note that the Groovydoc tool has some limitations at the moment. The version of the Groovydoc that is used, is the one from the Groovy dependency defined in the build script.
