  - ### componentFilter

    ArtifactView.ViewConfiguration componentFilter(Spec<? super ComponentIdentifier> componentFilter)
    Specify a filter for the components that should be included in this view. Only artifacts from components matching the supplied filter will be returned by `ArtifactView.getFiles()` or `ArtifactView.getArtifacts()`. This method cannot be called multiple times for a view.

    A component filter can be used to select artifacts from components of a certain type:

             configuration.incoming.artifactView {
                 componentFilter { it instanceof ProjectComponentIdentifier }
                 // or
                 componentFilter { it instanceof ModuleComponentIdentifier }
             }

    Alternatively, a component filter can be used to select artifacts from specific components:

             configuration.incoming.artifactView {
                 componentFilter {
                     it instanceof ProjectComponentIdentifier &&
                     it.projectPath == ":myProject"
                 }
                 // or
                 componentFilter {
                     it instanceof ModuleComponentIdentifier &&
                         it.group == "com.example" &&
                         it.module == "foo"
                 }
             }

  - ### isLenient

    boolean isLenient()
    Determines whether the view should be resolved in a 'lenient' fashion. When set to `true`, this view will resolve as many artifacts and/or files as possible collecting any failures. When set to `false`, any failures will be propagated as exceptions when the view is resolved.

  - ### setLenient

    void setLenient(boolean lenient)
    Specify if the view should be resolved in a 'lenient' fashion. When set to `true`, this view will resolve as many artifacts and/or files as possible collecting any failures. When set to `false`, any failures will be propagated as exceptions when the view is resolved.

  - ### lenient

    ArtifactView.ViewConfiguration lenient(boolean lenient)
    Specify if the view should be resolved in a 'lenient' fashion. When set to `true`, this view will resolve as many artifacts and/or files as possible collecting any failures. When set to `false`, any failures will be propagated as exceptions when the view is resolved.

  - ### withVariantReselection

    @Incubating ArtifactView.ViewConfiguration withVariantReselection()
    When invoked, this view will disregard existing attributes of its parent configuration and re-resolve the artifacts using only the attributes in the view's attribute container.

    This behavior cannot be unset on a particular view once this method is invoked.
