/**
* Attached to a task property to indicate that the property specifies some input value for the task.
*
* This annotation should be attached to the getter method in Java or the property in Groovy.
* Annotations on setters or just the field in Java are ignored.
*
* This will cause the task to be considered out-of-date when the property has changed. When used on a
* {@link java.io.File} object that refers to a file or directory, the up-to-date check is only dependent on the
* path and not the contents of the file or directory. To make it depend on the contents, use
* {@link org.gradle.api.tasks.InputFile} or {@link org.gradle.api.tasks.InputDirectory} respectively.
