This style of property definition is legacy in Gradle and is discouraged:

[source,java]
----
public class MyTask extends DefaultTask {
    private String someProperty;

    public String getSomeProperty() {
        return someProperty;
    }

    public void setSomeProperty(String someProperty) {

This is done via a `Property` class type.

[source, kotlin]
----
abstract class MyTask : DefaultTask() {
    // Avoid Java Bean properties
    @Input
    var myEagerProperty: String = "default value"

    // Use Gradle managed properties instead
    @Input
