# Annotation Type ReplacedBy

@Documented @Retention(RUNTIME) @Target({METHOD,FIELD}) public @interface ReplacedBy

Attached to a task property to indicate that the property has been replaced by another. Like `Internal`, the property is ignored during up-to-date checks.

This annotation should be attached to the getter method in Java or the property field in Groovy. You should also consider adding `Deprecated` to any replaced property.

This will cause the task not to be considered out-of-date when the property has changed.
