    - #### public Compiler<org.gradle.api.internal.tasks.compile.GroovyJavaJointCompileSpec> getCompiler()

    - #### @InputFiles public FileCollection getGroovyClasspath()

      Returns the classpath containing the version of Groovy to use for compilation.

      Returns:
        The classpath.

    - #### @Nested public GroovyCompileOptions getGroovyOptions()

      Gets the options for the Groovy compilation. To set specific options for the nested Java compilation, use getOptions().

      Returns:
        The Groovy compile options. Never returns null.

    - #### @Nested public CompileOptions getOptions()

      Returns the options for Java compilation.

      Returns:
