    `java.lang.Comparable<Task>`, `org.gradle.api.internal.DynamicObjectAware`, `org.gradle.api.internal.IConventionAware`, `org.gradle.api.internal.TaskInternal`, `ExtensionAware`, `Task`, `BaseExecSpec`, `JavaExecSpec`, `JavaForkOptions`, `ProcessForkOptions`, `Configurable<Task>`

      @DisableCachingByDefault(because="Gradle would require more information to cache this task")
      public abstract class JavaExec
      extends org.gradle.api.internal.ConventionTask
      implements JavaExecSpec

  Executes a Java application in a child process.

  Similar to `Exec`, but starts a JVM with the given classpath and application class.

       plugins {
           id 'java'
       }

       task runApp(type: JavaExec) {
         classpath = sourceSets.main.runtimeClasspath

         mainClass = 'package.Main'

         // arguments to pass to the application
         args 'appArg1'
       }

       // Using and creating an Executable Jar
       jar {
         manifest {
           attributes('Main-Class': 'package.Main')
         }
       }

       task runExecutableJar(type: JavaExec) {
         // Executable jars can have only _one_ jar on the classpath.
         classpath = files(tasks.jar)

         // 'main' does not need to be specified

         // arguments to pass to the application
         args 'appArg1'
       }

  The process can be started in debug mode (see `getDebug()`) in an ad-hoc manner by supplying the `--debug-jvm` switch when invoking the build.

       gradle someJavaExecTask --debug-jvm

  Also, debug configuration can be explicitly set in `debugOptions(Action)`:

       task runApp(type: JavaExec) {
          ...

          debugOptions {
              enabled = true
              port = 5566
              server = true
              suspend = false
          }
       }

For JVMs where this is the case, setting the `file.encoding` property via `JavaForkOptions.setSystemProperties(java.util.Map)` or similar will have no effect as this value will be overridden by the value specified by `JavaForkOptions.getDefaultCharacterEncoding()`.
      Specified by:
        `setDefaultCharacterEncoding` in interface `JavaForkOptions`
      Parameters:

    - #### getDebug

          public boolean getDebug()

      Determines whether debugging is enabled for the test process. When enabled — `debug = true` — the process is started in a suspended state, listening on port 5005. You should disable parallel test execution when debugging and you will need to reattach the debugger occasionally if you use a non-zero value for `Test.getForkEvery()`.

      Returns:
        true when debugging is enabled, false to disable.

    - #### setDebug

      Enable or disable debugging for the process. When enabled, the process is started suspended and listening on port 5005.

      The debug properties (e.g. the port number) can be configured in `JavaForkOptions.debugOptions(Action)`.

      Specified by:
        `setDebug` in interface `JavaForkOptions`
      Parameters:
        `enabled` - true to enable debugging, false to disable.

    - #### getDebugOptions

          public JavaDebugOptions getDebugOptions()

      Returns the Java Debug Wire Protocol properties for the process. If enabled then the `-agentlib:jdwp=...` will be appended to the JVM arguments with the configuration from the parameter.

    - #### debugOptions

          public JavaExec setArgsString​(java.lang.String args)

      Parses an argument list from `args` and passes it to `setArgs(List)`.

      The parser supports both single quote (`'`) and double quote (`"`) as quote delimiters. For example, to pass the argument `foo bar`, use `"foo bar"`.

      Note: the parser does not support using backslash to escape quotes. If this is needed, use the other quote delimiter around it. For example, to pass the argument `'singly quoted'`, use `"'singly quoted'"`.

      Parameters:
        `args` - Args for the main class. Will be parsed into an argument list.
      Returns:
        this
