[GRADLE-3445] Cannot create a rule for specifying generatedBy for native source sets due to cyclic rule dependencies Created: 30/Apr/16  Updated: 10/Feb/17  Resolved: 10/Feb/17

 Description   

Based on the idl sample, you can specify a task that generates source code for a given LanguageSourceSet and the NativeComponentModelPlugin has rules to wire the generatedBy task into the dependencies for a binary. This requires the task to be defined before the source set in the model and the generatedBy to be set in the build script (because we need to provide a Task instance, not just a task name).

Since we have a rule that mutates the Task container and takes the binaries (and eventually, source sets) to generate compile tasks, we can't have a different rule that mutates the source sets and takes the Task container.
