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

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.
