public class StopExecutionException extends RuntimeException

A `StopExecutionException` is thrown by a `Action` or task action closure to stop execution of the current task and start execution of the next task. This allows, for example, precondition actions to be added to a task which abort execution of the task if the preconditions are not met.

Note that throwing this exception does not fail the execution of the task or the build.
