How to edit those Gradle tasks or create my new Gradle tasks. I have googled but cannot find enough information.
These are Gradle Tasks, I want to create here new Gradle Tasks or is there any way I can edit (change code) and see code of these tasks?

I am new to gradle composite builds. I have a multi-project build that uses precompiled script plugins in order to have tasks configured for all projects that include the plugin. Now I want to port that functionality to a composite build setup.
The screenshots below show how the current multi-project build works:
This java precompiled script plugin (/buildSrc/.../java-conventions.gradle.kts) configures the "JavaCompile" tasks (i.e. sourceCompatability, targetCompatability...).
This kotlin precompiled script plugin imports the java conventions plugin and configures the "KotlinCompile" tasks.
Applying the the kotlin conventions plugin to project "test" automagically sets up my project with the proper "JavaCompile" and "KotlinCompile" configuration as shown above.
I have read the official docs and tutorials on gradle composite builds. Still, I dont know the proper way how to do this with composite builds. Do I have to write standalone plugins for this? If so, can you provide a POC code snippet? Any advice is greatly appreciated!
I'm new to Gradle, as I'm reading the build scripts inside a large multi-project, I want to know which task is being introduced from which plugin.
As far as I'm aware, there is no easy plugin --> task reference.
If you use:
gradle help --task <task name>
You can see the type used to create the task. This could be useful for custom plugins where you have access to the source.
If you're wondering about the built-in Gradle plugins, your best bet is the User's Guide. For example, this section shows all of the tasks provided by the Java plugin.
When I create a new Gluon Project with the Eclipse Gluon Plugin(2.3.0), the Gradle Tasks View (Buildship) only shows the group 'other', where all tasks get listed.
Calling gradle tasks on the command line, shows all groups as expected, as well as when I create a new Gradle Project without the plugin.
Furthermore the Executions View doesn't show anything
(Gradle STS Integration for Eclipse is also installed)
In Eclipse, I am using the jfxmobile-plugin within an gradle project which uses gradle 2.9. In the Gradle tasks view are some tasks missing like: android or androidinstall.
Only by changing the gradle version to 2.2 the missings tasks are visible.
My question is:
What have I to do in order to see the missing tasks in the gradle task view in eclipse for my project without changing the gradle version to 2.2 and keep it by 2.9?
I think you may have been using the built in Gradle Task window from Eclipse. This window doesn't show all the tasks with higher versions of gradle wrapper.
There is a different Gradle window that shows all the tasks. Select Window->Show View->Other and click on Gradle (STS) and select Gradle Tasks. That window will show all the tasks available with the plugin.
If you don't find it, you may want to install it from here.
I have a scenario like this.
Currently i have a test artifact for some deployment related tasks. This test artifacts is bundled with testng classes to handle deployment. I have created a gradle task which is calling above testng class in gradle file. Since this is a reusable Component, i am asking all the engineers who want to deploy the product to copy the tasks to their test gradle files. Now that i want more control on this task, i want to package this as part of Plugin and let the engineers apply the plugin and import the task. Also plan is package the above test artifact with the plugin.
I don't see any working examples on this scenario while searching on google. Can anyone point me to such example.
The Gradle User Guide has a lengthy section on Writing Custom Plugins. It probably makes the most sense to start there.
