I wanted to create a DSL of the following type

task feature(type: Feature){

 Plugin("org.insilico"){
       url ="https://someurl.com"
       property = value
 }
}

i am already familiar with extensions in Gradle and Custom Tasks, Can anyone please Guide me through this, as i am new to this Plugin Development?

I’m assuming the Plugin refer to is not a Gradle plugin, but something of your own. I am also going to take the convention of using lower-case plugin for my example


class FeaturePlugin {
   String url
   String prop  
}

class Feature extends DefaultTask {

    void plugin(String pluginId, @DelegatesTo(FeaturePlugin) Closure configurator) {
        Closure cfg = configurator.clone()
        cfg.delegate = maybeCreate(pluginId)
        cfg.resolveStrategy = Closure.DELEGATE_FIRST
        cfg.call()
    }

    void plugin(String pluginId, Action<FeaturePlugin> configurator) {
        configurator.execute(maybeCreate(pluginId))
    }

    private FeaturePlugin maybeCreate( String pluginId ) {
       // You need to decide what you are going to do to return a FeaturePlugin
    }
}
