          - - org.gradle.plugins.ide.idea.GenerateIdeaModule

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    `Comparable<Task>`, `org.gradle.api.internal.DynamicObjectAware`, `org.gradle.api.internal.IConventionAware`, `org.gradle.api.internal.TaskInternal`, `ExtensionAware`, `Task`, `org.gradle.util.Configurable<Task>`

      public class GenerateIdeaModule
      extends XmlGeneratorTask<Module>

  Generates an IDEA module file. If you want to fine tune the idea configuration

  Please refer to interesting examples on idea configuration in `IdeaModule`.

  At this moment nearly all configuration is done via `IdeaModule`.

- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### GenerateIdeaModule

          public GenerateIdeaModule()

    - #### GenerateIdeaModule

          @Inject
          public GenerateIdeaModule​(IdeaModule module)

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### create

          protected Module create()

      Specified by:
        `create` in class `XmlGeneratorTask<Module>`

    - #### configure

          protected void configure​(Module xmlModule)

      Specified by:
        `configure` in class `XmlGeneratorTask<Module>`

    - #### getXmlTransformer

          public org.gradle.internal.xml.XmlTransformer getXmlTransformer()

      Overrides:
        `getXmlTransformer` in class `XmlGeneratorTask<Module>`

    - #### getOutputFile

          public File getOutputFile()

      Configures output *.iml file. It's optional because the task should configure it correctly for you (including making sure it is unique in the multi-module build). If you really need to change the output file name it is much easier to do it via the idea.module.name property.

      Please refer to documentation in `IdeaModule` name property. In IntelliJ IDEA the module name is the same as the name of the *.iml file.

      Overrides:
        `getOutputFile` in class `GeneratorTask<Module>`
      Returns:
        The output file.

    - #### setOutputFile

          public void setOutputFile​(File newOutputFile)

      Description copied from class: `GeneratorTask`
      Sets the output file to write the final configuration to.
      Overrides:
        `setOutputFile` in class `GeneratorTask<Module>`
      Parameters:
        `newOutputFile` - The output file.

    - #### getModule

          @Internal
          public IdeaModule getModule()

      The Idea module model containing the details required to generate the module file.

    - #### setModule

          public void setModule​(IdeaModule module)
