How do I enable SSL support for the tomcat plugin

My first day using gradle. I was able to install tomcat plugin https://github.com/bmuschko/gradle-tomcat-plugin

Now I need to enable SSL port. The documentation for the plugin

“enableSSL: Determines whether the HTTPS connector should be created (defaults to false).”

How do I use “Convention properties”. Any example ?

For understanding the concept of convention properties in general the following links will help you understand them:

To enable SSL simply use the task name of the Tomcat plugin you are trying to use and and assign the value of the property you want to set within a closure or directly with the dot notation. Here are two examples:

tomcatRun {
    enableSSL = true
}

[tomcatRun, tomcatStop]*.enableSSL = true

I will add an example to the documentation soon.

That did the trick. Thank you.
