The `MyProjectLayoutTask` task uses a `ProjectLayout` instance, which is injected into the task's constructor using the `@Inject` annotation.

[[buildlayout]]
== 3. `BuildLayout`

link:{groovyDslPath}/org.gradle.api.file.BuildLayout.html[`BuildLayout`] is a service that provides access to the root and settings directory in a Settings plugin or a Settings script, it is analogous to `ProjectLayout`.
