/**
 * <p>Declares the configuration required to instantiate and configure the hierarchy of {@link
 * org.gradle.api.Project} instances which are to participate in a build.</p>
 *
 * <p>There is a one-to-one correspondence between a <code>Settings</code> instance and a <code>{@value
 * #DEFAULT_SETTINGS_FILE}</code> settings file. Before Gradle assembles the projects for a build, it creates a
 * <code>Settings</code> instance and executes the settings file against it.</p>
 *
 * <h3>Assembling a Multi-Project Build</h3>
 *
 * <p>One of the purposes of the <code>Settings</code> object is to allow you to declare the projects which are to be
 * included in the build. You add projects to the build using the {@link #include(String[])} method.  There is always a
 * root project included in a build.  It is added automatically when the <code>Settings</code> object is created.  The
 * root project's name defaults to the name of the directory containing the settings file. The root project's project
 * directory defaults to the directory containing the settings file.</p>
 *
 * <p>When a project is included in the build, a {@link ProjectDescriptor} is created. You can use this descriptor to
 * change the default values for several properties of the project.</p>
 *
 * <h3>Using Settings in a Settings File</h3>
 *
 * <h4>Dynamic Properties</h4>
 *
 * <p>In addition to the properties of this interface, the {@code Settings} object makes some additional read-only
 * properties available to the settings script. This includes properties from the following sources:</p>
 *
 * <ul>
 *
 * <li>Defined in the {@value org.gradle.api.Project#GRADLE_PROPERTIES} file located in the settings directory of the
 * build.</li>
 *
 * <li>Defined the {@value org.gradle.api.Project#GRADLE_PROPERTIES} file located in the user's {@code .gradle}
 * directory.</li>
 *
 * <li>Provided on the command-line using the -P option.</li>
 *
 * </ul>
