if I just want

tasks.check

to be generated... what plugin should I apply? this is a root project, it doesn't really have java, applying

java-platform

does give it to me though. I"m just wondering if there's a plugin that does ... less

tasks.register<Task>("check")

is the quick and easy without any extra overhead if you just need it to appease like a templated CI or something that assumes it is always present.

You can apply

base

to get

check

.

thanks!

``base`` also gives you

clean

task and

clean*

task rule, so you want it in any project with tasks that produce build output

Actually, it is the

lifecycle-base

plugin. This is the bottom-most built-in plugin and adds

build

,

check

,

clean

,

assemble

, and the

clean<task>

task rule. The

base

plugin applies that plugin and does some other things like registering the

base

extension, configuring archive tasks, adding

build<configuration>

task rule, adding

archives

and

default

configuration, and so on.
