An instance is created for each build in the build definition, once per build execution and is discarded at the end of the execution. 

The build state also includes what is currently called the "Gradle state". The Gradle state is being merged into the build state and is mostly empty.

### Project state

The "project state" holds the state for a project for a single build execution, and is contained by the build state (and not the state of the parent project).
