Package: org.gradle.api.tasks

## [Java] Interface TaskDependency

- A `TaskDependency` represents an unordered set of tasks which a Task depends on. Gradle ensures that all the dependencies of a task are executed before the task itself is executed.

  You can add a `TaskDependency` to a task by calling the task's Task#dependsOn(Object...) method.

- - ### Method Detail

    - #### public Set<? extends Task> getDependencies(Task task)

      Determines the dependencies for the given Task. This method is called when Gradle assembles the task execution graph for a build. This occurs after all the projects have been evaluated, and before any task execution begins.

      Parameters:
        `task` - The task to determine the dependencies for.
      Returns:
        The tasks which the given task depends on. Returns an empty set if the task has no dependencies.
