I was asked a very awesome question from someone starting to use gradle and I realize it would be extremely cool and probably already exists.

When we go to override a task like jar, many times you want to actually see the original gradle code that is used for the jar task or compileJava task. Does such a thing exist? (or did they end up writing that stuff in java). If that does exist, please give us a link? and it would be awesome to wire into the command line or documentation online(or maybe it is wired in somewhere and I missed it as the documentation online is one huge book, which is great, don’t get me wrong.).

thanks,
Dean

    The code is on github, as detailed on the web site, so you can easily check it out and grep for specific implementations.

    For example this is the code for the Jar task.

    The Gradle build language you use in your scripts is a DSL implemented in Groovy and Java. The language reference is a useful resource for mapping between the stuff you write in your project and the API docs for the underlying code.
