Interface Convention

All Superinterfaces:

ExtensionContainer

@Deprecated
public interface Convention
extends ExtensionContainer

Deprecated.

Use extensions instead. This is scheduled for removal in Gradle 9.

A Convention manages a set of convention objects. When you add a convention object to a Convention, and the properties and methods of the convention object become available as properties and methods of the object which the convention is associated to. A convention object is simply a POJO or POGO. Usually, a Convention is used by plugins to extend a Project or a Task.
