Question: How is an

AntBuilder

passed around in Gradle? Suppose I have this:

fun AntBuilder.taskdef(name: String, classname: String, classpath: Configuration) = withGroovyBuilder { ... }

class MyPlugin : Plugin<Project> {
  override fun apply(project: Project) {
    project.ant.taskdef("myTask", ...)
  }
}

Does that mean that a task defined as so:

abstract task MyGradleTask : DefaultTask() {
  @TaskAction
  fun run() {
    ant.withGroovyBuilder {
      "myTask"(...)
    }
  }
}

will only make sense if

MyPlugin

is applied? Conversely, if the

taskdef()

was inside

MyGradleTask

, and you have a

MyOtherGradleTask

that has its own

taskdef()

, will they conflict?
