# Annotation Type BinaryTasks

@Retention(RUNTIME) @Target(METHOD) @Incubating @Deprecated public @interface BinaryTasks
Deprecated.
The Gradle software model is deprecated and will be removed in Gradle 10. Use the new component model (e.g. `cpp-application`, `cpp-library`, `swift-application`, `swift-library`, `xctest`) instead.
Declares the tasks to build a custom `BinarySpec` binary. The following example demonstrates how to register multiple tasks for custom binary using a plugin with a `BinaryTasks` annotation.

    @Managed interface SampleComponent extends ComponentSpec {}
    @Managed interface SampleBinary extends BinarySpec {}

    apply plugin: MyCustomBinariesPlugin

    class MyCustomBinaryCreationTask extends DefaultTask {
         @TaskAction void build() {
             //building the binary
         }
    }

    class MyCustomBinariesPlugin extends RuleSource {
        @ComponentType
        void register(TypeBuilder<SampleBinary> builder) {}

        @BinaryTasks
        void createBinaryTasks(ModelMap<Task> tasks, SampleBinary binary) {
            tasks.create("${binary.name}Task1", MyCustomBinaryCreationTask)
            tasks.create("${binary.name}Task2") {
                dependsOn "${binary.name}Task1"
            }
        }
    }
