Usage

This plugin enables a CrossPlatformExec task type in your buildscript which behaves exactly like a typical Gradle Exec task, except that it normalizes calls to work across operating systems. It does this by:

1. Searching for a file matching the name of the command and executing the matching file if it exists

• Files ending with .bat, .cmd, and .exe are matched on Windows
• Files ending with .sh and nothing are matched on *nix

2. Prepending each command with cmd /c on Windows

To define a CrossPlatformExec task, simply specify the task type:

task foo(type: CrossPlatformExec) {
	commandLine 'echo', 'bar'
}

All of the same options for a typical Exec task are available.
