      `setMustRunAfter` in class `org.gradle.api.internal.AbstractTask`
    Parameters:
      `mustRunAfterTasks` - The set of task paths this task must run after.

  - ### mustRunAfter

    public Task mustRunAfter(Object... paths)
    Description copied from interface: `Task`

    Specifies that this task must run after all of the supplied tasks.

        task taskY {
            mustRunAfter "taskX"
        }

    For each supplied task, this action adds a task 'ordering', and does not specify a 'dependency' between the tasks. As such, it is still possible to execute 'taskY' without first executing the 'taskX' in the example.

    See here for a description of the types of objects which can be used to specify an ordering relationship.
