5.0 Tasks

More detailed explanation on tasks and why they're there. This includes some examples on covered use cases, especially the optional task arguments. All task descriptions refer to the command line interface. However, gradle plugins will generally support the same features. See Using IntelliJ for examples, such as how to pass arguments to tasks.
