Gradle plugin categorisation

Question

A custom gradle plugin when listed using gradle tasks is listed as Other tasks.

Example - gradle tasks

IDE tasks
---------
cleanIdea - Cleans IDEA project files (IML, IPR)
idea - Generates IDEA project files (IML, IPR, IWS)

Other tasks
-----------
csvDiffTask - my custom task

How can a different category be given, example My Tasks, so that when running gradle tasks it appears as below

IDE tasks
---------
cleanIdea - Cleans IDEA project files (IML, IPR)
idea - Generates IDEA project files (IML, IPR, IWS)

My tasks
-----------
csvDiffTask - my custom task

PS: Checked the source of some plugins on github and checked stackoverflow and no avail.

Answer 1

You can do this by setting the "group" property of your 'csvDiffTask'. Have a look at the Gradle DSL reference for details: http://www.gradle.org/docs/current/dsl/org.gradle.api.Task.html#org.gradle.api.Task:group for details
