WorkerExecutor

Allows work to be submitted for asynchronous execution. This api allows for safe, concurrent execution of work items and enables:

• Parallel execution of work items within a single task
• Execution in isolated contexts such as an isolated classloader or even a separate process
• Safe execution of multiple tasks in parallel

Work should be submitted with a WorkAction class representing the implementation of the unit of work and an action to configure the parameters of the unit of work (via WorkParameters).

     workerExecutor.noIsolation().submit(MyWorkActionImpl.class) { MyWorkParameters parameters ->
         parameters.inputFile = project.file('foo')
         parameters.outputFile = project.layout.buildDirectory.file('bar')
     }

An instance of the executor can be injected into a task by annotating a public constructor or property getter method with javax.inject.Inject.
