  - ### getExecutable

    @Optional @Input public abstract Property<String> getExecutable()
    Returns the compiler executable to be used.

    Only takes effect if `CompileOptions.fork` is `true`. Not present by default.

    Setting the executable disables task output caching.

  - ### getJavaHome

    @Internal public @Nullable File getJavaHome()
    Returns the Java home which contains the compiler to use.

    Only takes effect if `CompileOptions.fork` is `true`. Defaults to `null`.

    Since:
      3.5

  - ### setJavaHome

    public void setJavaHome(@Nullable File javaHome)
    Sets the Java home which contains the compiler to use.

    Only takes effect if `CompileOptions.fork` is `true`. Defaults to `null`.

    Since:
      3.5

  - ### getTempDir

    @Internal public abstract Property<String> getTempDir()
    Returns the directory used for temporary files that may be created to pass command line arguments to the compiler process. Not present by default, in which case the directory will be chosen automatically.
