How to define default tasks in Gradle?


Gradle allows you to define one or more default tasks for your build (build.gradle file). Look at the below example: defaultTasks will declare the default tasks in your build.

defaultTasks 'clean', 'run'
						
task clean << {
        println 'Default Task - Cleaning!'
}
task run << {
        println 'Default Task - Running!'
}
task mySpecTask << {
        println "I'm not a default task!"
}

Run "gradle -q"

Default Task - Cleaning!
Default Task - Running!

This is equivalent to running gradle clean run In a multi-project build every subproject can have its own specific default tasks. If a subproject does not specify default tasks, the default tasks of the parent project are used.

true and false are keywords?
true, false, and null might seem like keywords, but they are actually literals. You cannot use them as identifiers in your programs.
