  BinaryTypeBuilder<C extends BinarySpec> | Allows a plugin to register a custom binary type.
  ComponentSpec | A software component that is built by a Gradle project.
  ComponentSpecContainer | A container of software components.
  ComponentSpecIdentifier | An identifier for a `ComponentSpec`, which has a name.
  ComponentTypeBuilder<C extends ComponentSpec> | Allows a plugin to register a custom component type.
  DependencySpec | A dependency onto a Gradle component.
  DependencySpecBuilder | Interface for a dependency spec builder.
  DependencySpecContainer | A container for dependency specifications.
  LanguageTypeBuilder<T extends LanguageSourceSet> | Allows a plugin to register a custom language.

  LibraryBinarySpec | A binary produced from a ``LibrarySpec``.
  LibrarySpec | A specification of a `Library`.
  Platform | The platform or runtime that a binary is designed to run on.
  PlatformAwareComponentSpec | Defines Platform specific operations for ComponentSpecs
  PlatformContainer | A container of `Platform`s.
  ToolChain | A set of compilers that are used together to construct binaries.
  ToolChainRegistry<P extends Platform,T extends ToolChain> | A Provider of `ToolChain`s.

- Exception Summary
  Exception | Description
  --- | ---
  InvalidModelException | Thrown when a component model is declared in an invalid way.
  ModelInstantiationException | Thrown when a model element cannot be instantiated for some reason.
