 Description    
gradle.taskGraph.whenReady { graph ->
    if (graph.hasTask(':release') && !project.hasProperty('pow')) {
        throw new GradleException('No prop!')
    }
}

task hello << { println 'hello' }

task release << { println 'release' }

Calling gradle release yields:

$ gradle release
