Extending axion-release tasks

Since version 1.8.0, each task that is created by axion-release can be used to create new task that extends it using standard Gradle mechanisms.

For example to extend OutputCurrentVersionTask and add action that will print additional message:

plugins {
    // if you want axion-release tasks to be applied:
    id 'pl.allegro.tech.build.axion-release'
    // if you don't need them, add apply false:
    // id 'pl.allegro.tech.build.axion-release' apply false
}

import pl.allegro.tech.build.axion.release.domain.VersionConfig
import pl.allegro.tech.build.axion.release.OutputCurrentVersionTask

task customTask(type: OutputCurrentVersionTask) {
    versionConfig = project.objects.newInstance(VersionConfig,project.rootProject.layout.projectDirectory)
}

customTask.doFirst {
    println 'My custom message'
}

Custom task can now be called:

./gradlew customTask
My custom message
