How to pass parameters or arguments into a gradle task

Question

I have a gradle build script into which I am trying to include Eric Wendelin\'s css plugin - http://eriwen.github.io/gradle-css-plugin/

Its easy enough to implement,

Answer 1

I would suggest the method presented on the Gradle forum:

def createMinifyCssTask(def brand, def sourceFile, def destFile) {
    return tasks.create("minify${brand}Css", com.eriwen.gradle.css.tasks.MinifyCssTask) {
        source = sourceFile
        dest = destFile
    }
}

I have used this method myself to create custom tasks, and it works very well.
