best practices when developing a Gradle plugin are to use lazy types (ConfigurableFileCollection, Provider API, domain object containers) when defining configurable parts of a plugin (tasks, extensions, domain objects).  The Provider API provides a consistent way to set conventions, wire related configuration together (extension <- domain object <- task) and avoid evaluation ordering problems.

The Gradle codebase has evolved over time and has a mixture of simple getter/setter methods, Provider...

 * <p>Each of the {@code standard} methods uses the set's comparator (or the natural ordering of the
 * elements, if there is no comparator) to test element equality. As a result, if the comparator is
 * not consistent with equals, some of the standard implementations may violate the {@code Set}
 * contract.
 *
 * <p>The {@code standard} methods and the collection views they return are not guaranteed to be

 * equality for both keys and values. This may not be the desired behavior for map implementations
 * that use non-standard notions of key equality, such as a {@code SortedMap} whose comparator is
 * not consistent with {@code equals}.

 * thread-safe, even when all of the methods that they depend on are thread-safe.
