Hi!

Is there any better DSL to configure tasks (e.g. jar) then this:

(tasks["jar"] as Jar).apply {
    (manifest as OsgiManifest).apply {
        name = "..."
        symbolicName = "..."
        vendor = "..."

        instruction(
                "Import-Package", "a.b.c"
        )
    }
}

?

madhead: I think it’s pretty great! It’s type-safe, isolated and IDE-supported

Alternatively you could just assign the task and manifest to `val`s if you want to avoid apply “magic”

[Czar]

tasks.withType<Jar> {
	manifest {
		(this as OsgiManifest).name = "..."
		symbolicName = "..."
		vendor = "..."
		instruction("Import-Package", "a.b.c")
	}
}

This will not work correctly, if you have more than one task of type Jar, because this style applies configuration to all tasks of given type. I have no idea if that's possible, though.

Ok then, thanks!
