    - #### getClasspath

          @CompileClasspath
          @Incremental
          public FileCollection getClasspath()

      Description copied from class: `AbstractCompile`
      Returns the classpath to use to compile the source files.
      Overrides:
        `getClasspath` in class `AbstractCompile`
      Returns:
        The classpath.

    - #### getAstTransformationClasspath

          @Classpath
          public ConfigurableFileCollection getAstTransformationClasspath()

      The classpath containing AST transformations and their dependencies.
      Since:
        5.6

    - #### compile

          protected void compile​(InputChanges inputChanges)

    - #### getPreviousCompilationData

          @OutputFile
          protected java.io.File getPreviousCompilationData()

      The previous compilation analysis. Internal use only.
      Since:
        7.1

    - #### getStableSources

          @SkipWhenEmpty
          @IgnoreEmptyDirectories
          @PathSensitive(RELATIVE)
          @InputFiles
          protected FileCollection getStableSources()

      The sources for incremental change detection.
      Since:
        5.6

    - #### getGroovyCompilerJvmVersion

          @Input
          protected java.lang.String getGroovyCompilerJvmVersion()

      We need to track the Java version of the JVM the Groovy compiler is running on, since the Groovy compiler produces different results depending on it. This should be replaced by a property on the Groovy toolchain as soon as we model these.
      Since:
        4.0

    - #### getSource

          @Internal("tracked via stableSources")
          public FileTree getSource()

      Returns the source for this task, after the include and exclude patterns have been applied. Ignores source files which do not exist.

      The `PathSensitivity` for the sources is configured to be `PathSensitivity.ABSOLUTE`. If your sources are less strict, please change it accordingly by overriding this method in your subclass.

      Overrides:
        `getSource` in class `SourceTask`
      Returns:
        The source.

    - #### getGroovyOptions

          public GroovyCompileOptions getGroovyOptions()

      Gets the options for the Groovy compilation. To set specific options for the nested Java compilation, use `getOptions()`.

        The Groovy compile options. Never returns null.

    - #### getOptions

          public CompileOptions getOptions()

      Returns the options for Java compilation.

    - #### setGroovyClasspath

          public void setGroovyClasspath​(FileCollection groovyClasspath)

      Sets the classpath containing the version of Groovy to use for compilation.
      Parameters:
        `groovyClasspath` - The classpath. Must not be null.

    - #### getJavaLauncher
