title: How to list all tasks for the master project only in gradle?
body: <p>I asked this question a long time ago....</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10422054/is-there-a-way-to-list-task-dependencies-in-gradle">Is there a way to list task dependencies in Gradle?</a></p>
  
  <p>and annotated what I do these days as my project has grown to an unweildy task count.  I can then list all tasks for a certain project like </p>
  
  <pre><code>./gradlew :core:core-channelmanager2:asynch-server:tasks --all
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and this gives me a nice task list and dependencies of JUST that project.  My master root project however does not have many of the plugins my subprojects have since it doesn't need them, but I still need to understand it's task list.  I know I can do this</p>
  
  <pre><code>./gradlew tasks --all
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but that prints the world.  I can't seem to do this</p>
  
  <pre><code>./gradlew :master:tasks --all
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>nor this</p>
  
  <pre><code>./gradlew :webpieces:tasks --all
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>where webpieces is my project here ... <a href="https://github.com/deanhiller/webpieces/blob/master/build.gradle" rel="noreferrer">https://github.com/deanhiller/webpieces/blob/master/build.gradle</a></p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to list ALL the root projects task so I can get a clear picture of my root project?</p>
  
  <p>thanks,
  Dean</p>
