<h2>Gradle Task</h2>

<b>ProGuard</b> can be run as a task in the Java-based build tool Gradle
(version 2.1 or higher).
<p>

Before you can use the <code>proguard</code> task, you have to make sure
Gradle can find it in its class path at build time. One way is to add the
following line to your <code>build.gradle</code> file:
<p>

<pre>
buildscript {
    repositories {
        flatDir dirs: '/usr/local/java/proguard/lib'
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath ':proguard:'
    }
}
</pre>
<p>

Please make sure the class path is set correctly for your system.
<p>

You can then define a task:
<p>
<pre>
task myProguardTask(type: proguard.gradle.ProGuardTask) {
    .....
}
</pre>
<p>

The embedded configuration is much like a standard ProGuard configuration.
Notable similarities and differences:
<ul>
<li>Like in ProGuard-style configurations, we're using all lower-case names
    for the settings.</li>
<li>The options don't have a dash as prefix.</li>
<li>Arguments typically have quotes.</li>
<li>Some settings are specified as named arguments.</li>
</ul>
<p>
You can find some sample build files in the <code>examples/gradle</code>
directory of the ProGuard distribution.
<p>
If you prefer a more verbose configuration derived from the Ant task, you can
import the Ant task as a <a href="#anttask">Gradle task</a>.

</dl>

<h2><a name="classpath">Class Paths</a></h2>

Class paths are specified as Gradle file collections, which means they can be
specified as simple strings, with <code>files(Object)</code>, etc.
<p>
In addition, they can have ProGuard-style filters, specified as
comma-separated named arguments after the file:

<dl>

<dt><code><b>filter:</b></code>
    '<a href="usage.html#filefilters"><i>file_filter</i></a>'</dt>
<dd>An optional filter for all class file names and resource file names that
    are encountered.</dd>

<dt><code><b>apkfilter:</b></code>
    '<a href="usage.html#filefilters"><i>file_filter</i></a>'</dt>
<dd>An optional filter for all apk names that are encountered.</dd>

<dt><code><b>jarfilter:</b></code>
    '<a href="usage.html#filefilters"><i>file_filter</i></a>'</dt>
<dd>An optional filter for all jar names that are encountered.</dd>

<dt><code><b>aarfilter:</b></code>
    '<a href="usage.html#filefilters"><i>file_filter</i></a>'</dt>
<dd>An optional filter for all aar names that are encountered.</dd>

<dt><code><b>warfilter:</b></code>
    '<a href="usage.html#filefilters"><i>file_filter</i></a>'</dt>
<dd>An optional filter for all war names that are encountered.</dd>

<dt><code><b>earfilter:</b></code>
    '<a href="usage.html#filefilters"><i>file_filter</i></a>'</dt>
<dd>An optional filter for all ear names that are encountered.</dd>

<dt><code><b>zipfilter:</b></code>
    '<a href="usage.html#filefilters"><i>file_filter</i></a>'</dt>
<dd>An optional filter for all zip names that are encountered.</dd>

</dl>

<h2><a name="file">Files</a></h2>

Files are specified as Gradle files, which means they can be specified
as simple strings, as File instances, with <code>file(Object)</code>, etc.
<p>
In Gradle, file names (any strings really) in double quotes can contain
properties or code inside <code>${...}</code>. These are automatically
expanded.
<p>
For example, <code>"${System.getProperty('java.home')}/lib/rt.jar"</code> is
expanded to something like <code>'/usr/local/java/jdk/jre/lib/rt.jar'</code>.
Similarly, <code>System.getProperty('user.home')</code> is expanded to the
user's home directory, and <code>System.getProperty('user.dir')</code> is
expanded to the current working directory.

<h2><a name="keepmodifier">Keep Modifiers</a></h2>

The keep settings can have the following named arguments that modify their
behaviors:

<dl>

<dt><a href="usage.html#includedescriptorclasses"><code><b>includedescriptorclasses:</b></code></a>
    <i>boolean</i>
    (default = false)</dt>
<dd>Specifies whether the classes of the fields and methods specified in the
    keep tag must be kept as well.</dd>

<dt><a href="usage.html#allowshrinking"><code><b>allowshrinking:</b></code></a>
    <i>boolean</i>
    (default = false)</dt>
<dd>Specifies whether the entry points specified in the keep tag may be
    shrunk.</dd>

<dt><a href="usage.html#allowoptimization"><code><b>allowoptimization:</b></code></a>
    <i>boolean</i>
    (default = false)</dt>
<dd>Specifies whether the entry points specified in the keep tag may be
    optimized.</dd>

<dt><a href="usage.html#allowobfuscation"><code><b>allowobfuscation:</b></code></a>
    <i>boolean</i>
    (default = false)</dt>
<dd>Specifies whether the entry points specified in the keep tag may be
    obfuscated.</dd>

</dl>

Names arguments are comma-separated, as usual.

<h2><a name="classspecification">Class Specifications</a></h2>

A class specification is a template of classes and class members (fields and methods). There are two alternative ways to specify such a template:

<ol>
<li>As a string containing a ProGuard-style class specification. This is the
    most compact and most readable way. The specification looks like a Java
    declaration of a class with fields and methods. For example:
<pre>
keep 'public class mypackage.MyMainClass {  \
    public static void main(java.lang.String[]);  \
}'
</pre></li>
<li>As a Gradle-style setting: a method calls with named arguments and a
    closure. This is more verbose, but it might be useful for programmatic
    specifications. For example:
<pre>
keep access: 'public',
     name:   'mypackage.MyMainClass', {
    method access:     'public static',
           type:       'void',
           name:       'main',
           parameters: 'java.lang.String[]'
}
</pre></li>
</ol>
<p>

The <a href="usage.html#classspecification">ProGuard-style class
specification</a> is described on the traditional Usage page.
<p>
A Gradle-style class specification can have the following named arguments:

<dl>

<dt><code><b>access:</b></code> '<i>access_modifiers</i>'</dt>
<dd>The optional access modifiers of the class. Any space-separated list of
    "public", "final", and "abstract", with optional negators "!".</dd>

<dt><code><b>annotation:</b></code> '<i>annotation_name</i>'</dt>
<dd>The optional fully qualified name of an annotation of the class, with
    optional wildcards.</dd>

<dt><code><b>type:</b></code> '<i>type</i>'</dt>
<dd>The optional type of the class: one of "class", "interface", or
    "!interface".</dd>

<dt><code><b>name:</b></code> '<i>class_name</i>'</dt>
<dd>The optional fully qualified name of the class, with optional
    wildcards.</dd>

<dt><code><b>extendsannotation:</b></code> '<i>annotation_name</i>'</dt>
<dd>The optional fully qualified name of an annotation of the the class that
    the specified classes must extend, with optional wildcards.</dd>

<dt><code><b>'extends':</b></code> '<i>class_name</i>'</dt>
<dd>The optional fully qualified name of the class the specified classes
    must extend, with optional wildcards.</dd>

<dt><code><b>'implements':</b></code> '<i>class_name</i>'</dt>
<dd>The optional fully qualified name of the class the specified classes
    must implement, with optional wildcards.</dd>

</dl>

The named arguments are optional. Without any arguments, there are no
constraints, so the settings match all classes.
<p>

<h3><a name="classmemberspecification">Gradle-style Class Member Specifications</a></h3>

The closure of a Gradle-style class specification can specify class members
with these settings:

<dl>

<dt><code><b>field</b></code> <i>field_constraints</i></dt>
<dd>Specifies a field.</dd>

<dt><code><b>method</b></code> <i>method_constraints</i></dt>
<dd>Specifies a method.</dd>

<dt><code><b>constructor</b></code> <i>constructor_constraints</i></dt>
<dd>Specifies a constructor.</dd>

</dl>

A class member setting can have the following named arguments to express
constraints:

<dl>

<dt><code><b>access:</b></code> '<i>access_modifiers</i>'</dt>
<dd>The optional access modifiers of the class. Any space-separated list of
    "public", "protected", "private", "static", etc., with optional negators
    "!".</dd>

<dt><code><b>'annotation':</b></code> '<i>annotation_name</i>'</dt>
<dd>The optional fully qualified name of an annotation of the class member,
    with optional wildcards.</dd>

<dt><code><b>type:</b></code> '<i>type</i>'</dt>
<dd>The optional fully qualified type of the class member, with optional
    wildcards. Not applicable for constructors, but required for methods for
    which the <code>parameters</code> argument is specified.</dd>

<dt><code><b>name:</b></code> '<i>name</i>'</dt>
<dd>The optional name of the class member, with optional wildcards. Not
    applicable for constructors.</dd>

<dt><code><b>parameters:</b></code> '<i>parameters</i>'</dt>
<dd>The optional comma-separated list of fully qualified method parameters,
    with optional wildcards. Not applicable for fields, but required for
    constructors, and for methods for which the <code>type</code> argument is
    specified.</dd>

</dl>

The named arguments are optional. Without any arguments, there are no
constraints, so the settings match all constructors, fields, or methods.
<p>
A class member setting doesn't have a closure.

<h2><a name="anttask">Alternative: imported Ant task</a></h2>

Instead of using the Gradle task, you could also integrate the Ant task in
your Gradle build file:
<p>
<pre>
ant.project.basedir = '../..'

ant.taskdef(resource: 'proguard/ant/task.properties',
            classpath: '/usr/local/java/proguard/lib/proguard.jar')
</pre>
<p>

Gradle automatically converts the elements and attributes to Groovy methods,
so converting the configuration is essentially mechanical. The one-on-one
mapping can be useful, but the resulting configuration is more verbose. For
instance:
<pre>
task proguard << {
  ant.proguard(printmapping: 'proguard.map',
               overloadaggressively: 'on',
               repackageclasses: '',
               renamesourcefileattribute: 'SourceFile') {

    injar(file: 'application.jar')
    injar(file: 'gui.jar', filter: '!META-INF/**')

    .....
  }
}
</pre>
