    - #### getBuildTask

          @Nullable
          Task getBuildTask()

      Returns the 'lifecycle' task associated with the construction of this element.

    - #### setBuildTask

          void setBuildTask(Task lifecycleTask)

      Associates a 'lifecycle' task with the construction of this element.

    - #### builtBy

          void builtBy(Object... tasks)

      Adds a task that is required for the construction of this element. A task added this way is then added as a dependency of the associated lifecycle task.

    - #### hasBuildDependencies

          boolean hasBuildDependencies()
