does the Kotlin version make it clearer that the initial `configurations { instrumentedJars { ... } }` _creates_ a configuration?

ok that does clarify things a bit, but i'm still confused

would a project include the code provided in all the examples? or just example 1 plus one of 2, 3 or 4

I would have hoped the docs were clear enough that you need 1 to 5.

this part confused me:


``` If it's not the case, you will need to explicitly declare how the artifact is generated.

Example 3. Explicitly declaring the task dependency of an artifact```
it seems like you do example 2 sometimes but example 3 `if it's not the case...`

but if you're saying all examples are needed together, i think that helps, let me chew on it

Right. It basically tells you that if the artifact you build is _not_ from an `AbstractArchiveTask` then you need 3, otherwise not.

so basically if you use a `Jar` task you can skip 3
