Historically, Gradle has shipped with some Groovy types in very prominent APIs.
This required the Kotlin DSL to add special integration to work with Groovy closures.
This has also forced plugins written in languages other than Groovy to use Groovy types for some APIs.

When the Kotlin DSL was introduced, we made an effort to add non-Groovy equivalents for all APIs.

import org.gradle.api.provider.Property

import java.io.File

    /** A service in this state is transitioning to {@link #RUNNING}. */
    STARTING,

    /** A service in this state is operational. */
    RUNNING,

It doesn't matter what you type in the form, it won't work yet. But we'll get there.

This is of course not the frontend for the final users, but it's a great automatic tool to document interactively all your API.
