Returns the LoggingManager which can be used to control the logging level and standard output/error capture for this task. By default, System.out is redirected to the Gradle logging system at the QUIET log level, and System.err is redirected at the ERROR log level.
Returns the path of the task, which is a fully qualified name for the task. The path of a task is the path of its Project plus the name of the task, separated by :.
Returns a directory which this task can use to write temporary files to. Each task instance is provided with a separate temporary directory. There are no guarantees that the contents of this directory will be kept beyond the execution of the task.
