`(read-only) File libsDir`::
The directory to generate libraries into. Default value: `layout.buildDirectory.dir(__libsDirName__)`

`String distsDirName`::
The name of the directory to generate distributions into, relative to the build directory. Default value: `distributions`

`(read-only) File distsDir`::

The conventions are replaced by the `base { }` configuration block backed by link:{groovyDslPath}/org.gradle.api.plugins.BasePluginExtension.html[BasePluginExtension].
The old convention object defines the `distsDirName`, `libsDirName` and `archivesBaseName` properties with simple getter and setter methods.
Those methods are available in the extension only to maintain backwards compatibility.
