/**
 * Marks a property as specifying a Java compile classpath for a task. Attaching this annotation to a property means that changes that do not affect the API of the classes in classpath will be ignored. The following kinds of changes to the classpath will be ignored:
 *
 * 
 *     Changes to the path of jar or top level directories.
 *     Changes to timestamps and the order of entries in Jars.
 *     Changes to resources and Jar manifests, including adding or removing resources.
 *     Changes to private class elements, such as private fields, methods and inner classes.
 *     Changes to code, such as method bodies, static initializers and field initializers (except for constants).
 *     Changes to debug information, for example when a change to a comment affects the line numbers in class debug information.
 *     Changes to directories, including directory entries in Jars.
 * 
 *
 * 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.
 *
 * Note: to stay compatible with versions prior to Gradle 3.4, classpath
 * properties need to be annotated with {@literal @}{@link InputFiles} as well.
 *
 * @since 3.4
