Interface TaskDependency

public interface TaskDependency

A TaskDependency represents an unordered set of tasks which a Task depends on. Gradle ensures that all the dependencies of a task are executed before the task itself is executed.

You can add a TaskDependency to a task by calling the task's Task.dependsOn(Object...) method.
