ProjectBuilder (Gradle API 8.11)

java.lang.Object
- org.gradle.testfixtures.ProjectBuilder

```
public class ProjectBuilder
extends java.lang.Object
```
Creates dummy instances of Project which you can use in testing custom task and plugin implementations.

To create a project instance:
1. Create a ProjectBuilder instance by calling builder().
2. Optionally, configure the builder.
3. Call build() to create the Project instance.
You can reuse a builder to create multiple Project instances.

The ProjectBuilder implementation bundled with Gradle 3.0 and 3.1 suffers from a binary compatibility issue exposed by applying plugins compiled with Gradle 2.7 and earlier. Applying those pre-compiled plugins in a ProjectBuilder context will result in a ClassNotFoundException.
