The clean rule is contributed by the BasePlugin (which is extended by the JavaBasePlugin, which is extended by the JavaPlugin).

I think we might make the report plugin dependent on the BasePlugin to fix that issue.

I think this is a general problem of the clean<TaskName> pattern rule.

If the clean rule is added by the BasePlugin, you can call clean<TaskName> for every task. But it only works for some tasks.

In my opinion there are the follwing two solutions.

1. Integrate the clean pattern rule to gradle core -> You can use it without any plugin (java, ...).
Enhance the clean pattern rule, so it can work with every task (own, gradle plugins, external plugins).
I am not sure if this is possible.

2. The current behavior, but you can use the clean task pattern only for the tasks which are added by the plugins (compileJava, jar, ...).
If you call cleanProjectReport or cleanMyTask you get an error messages.

I think this bug is not so urgent. But it should be resolved till "1.0".

Maybe it can be resolved together with these other bugs.

It still does not work with the version 1.4.

It still does not work with the version 3.2.1.

Comment by Benjamin Muschko [ 16/Jan/17 ]

The clean task rule is added by the base plugin and needs to be applied to the project in order to leverage the functionality. External plugins add this functionality by plugin aggregation. You apply the base plugin from the code of the external plugin. Please open an issue on GitHub if you still think there's some issue with the functionality. Make sure to provide an concrete example of a task that works properly and one that does not work properly from your perspective.
