/**
 * A {@code BuildLauncher} allows you to configure and execute a Gradle build.
 * <p>
 * Instances of {@code BuildLauncher} are not thread-safe. You use a {@code BuildLauncher} as follows:
 *
 * <ul>
 * <li>Create an instance of {@code BuildLauncher} by calling {@link org.gradle.tooling.ProjectConnection#newBuild()}.
 * <li>Configure the launcher as appropriate.
 * <li>Call either {@link #run()} or {@link #run(ResultHandler)} to execute the build.
 * <li>Optionally, you can reuse the launcher to launch additional builds.
 * </ul>
 *
 * Example:
 * <pre class='autoTested'>
 * ProjectConnection connection = GradleConnector.newConnector()
 *    .forProjectDirectory(new File("some-folder"))
 *    .connect();
 *
 * try {
 *    BuildLauncher build = connection.newBuild();
 *
 *    //select tasks to run:
 *    build.forTasks("clean", "test");
 *
 *    //include some build arguments:
 *    build.withArguments("-i", "--project-dir", "some-project-dir");
 *
 *    //configure the standard input:
 *    build.setStandardInput(new ByteArrayInputStream("consume this!".getBytes()));
 *
 *    //in case you want the build to use java different than default:
 *    build.setJavaHome(new File("/path/to/java"));
 *
 *    //if your build needs crazy amounts of memory:
 *    build.setJvmArguments("-Xmx2048m", "-XX:MaxPermSize=512m");
 *
 *    //if you want to listen to the progress events:
 *    ProgressListener listener = null; // use your implementation
 *    build.addProgressListener(listener);
 *
 *    //kick the build off:
 *    build.run();
 * } finally {
 *    connection.close();
 * }
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>If the target Gradle version is &gt;=6.8 then you can use {@code BuildLauncher} to execute tasks from included builds. You can target tasks from included builds by specifying the task
 * identity path (i.e. {@code ':included-build-name:subproject-name:taskName'}).</p>
