The Gradle codebase has evolved over time and has a mixture of simple getter/setter methods, Provider API and things in between.  It can be hard to follow best practices because Gradle provided types are reused in unexpected ways and extended by third party plugins.

Given these constraints, we cannot always follow best practices.  This ADR proposes the way we should handle the use of Provider APIs in the gradle/gradle codebase.

The *Build Tool Team* has decided to use Architectural Decision Records (aka ADR) to track decisions we want to follow.

The main logic with ADRs is to describe (architectural) decisions made:

* To provide best practices and solutions we (as the *build tool* team) want to promote.
* To avoid asking the same thing multiple times during code review.
* To explain *rejected solutions*, for now, and future development, in case they are proposed again.
