 Description   

It would be nice if Gradle would allow one to mark property fields or methods with an annotation instead of relying on a common naming convention.

When writing a commercial plugin, you probably want to apply obfuscation, and having to stick with a naming scheme a) just complicates the whole process and b) means some methods cannot be renamed. An annotation to mark properties would solve both issues nicely. Another advantage would be that one could name elements differently from the actual task/properties. Currently they must be the same.

class SimplePluginConvention {
private Foo foo;

@Property(name="foo")
public Foo getFoo)

{ return foo; }

@Property(name="foo")
public void setFoo(Foo rFoo)

{ foo = rFoo; }

}

or

class SimplePluginConvention {
private boolean compile;

@Getter(name="simpleCompile")
public boolean isCompile)

{ return compile; }

@Setter(name="simpleCompile")
public void setCompile(boolean rCompile)

{ compile = rCompile; }

}
