As we can see, the `license` plugin, when applied, exposes a `greeting` task with a simple print statement.

== Step 5. View Plugin Tasks

When the `license` plugin is applied to the `app` project, the `greeting` task becomes available:

// tag::use-plugin[]
plugins {
    id 'org.example.greeting' version '1.0-SNAPSHOT'
}
// end::use-plugin[]

tasks.register('greeting', org.example.GreetingTask) {
    greeting = 'howdy!'

import org.gradle.api.DefaultTask
import org.gradle.api.tasks.TaskAction
import org.gradle.api.tasks.Input

class GreetingTask extends DefaultTask {

    @Input
    String greeting = 'hello from GreetingTask'

    @TaskAction
    def greet() {
        println greeting
