Gradle plugin: please consider exposing task parameters directly rather than via extension about java-comment-preprocessor

[vlsi]

Just in case, I've created my own task (see pgjdbc/pgjdbc#1627 ): https://github.com/vlsi/pgjdbc/blob/gradle/buildSrc/src/main/kotlin/org/postgresql/buildtools/JavaCommentPreprocessorTask.kt

It more-or-less works, however, the configuration with baseDir+sourceFolders+excludedPatterns is kind of rigid.

Ant-like fileset would probably be easier to understand.

PS. you could have plugins { id("...") } in Gradle if you publish an extra .gradle.plugin artifact like https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/github/vlsi/checksum-dependency/com.github.vlsi.checksum-dependency.gradle.plugin/1.64/com.github.vlsi.checksum-dependency.gradle.plugin-1.64.pom

That is in your case the coordinates should be com.igormaznitsa.jcp:com.igormaznitsa.jcp.gradle.plugin pom artifact that adds a dependency on a regular jcp artifacts.

@vlsi
I made some improvements to define and prefer task properties and use extension properties as default ones, take a look pls

[raydac]

so, since 7.0.3 there is no extension for Gradle task
