      public class Groovydoc
      extends SourceTask

  Generates HTML API documentation for Groovy source, and optionally, Java source.

  This task uses Groovy's Groovydoc tool to generate the API documentation. Please note that the Groovydoc tool has some severe limitations at the moment (for example no doc for properties comments). The version of the Groovydoc that is used, is the one from the Groovy defined in the build script. Please note also, that the Groovydoc tool prints to System.out for many of its statements and does circumvents our logging currently.
