## Class ValidatePlugins

- java.lang.Object
- - org.gradle.api.internal.AbstractTask
  - - org.gradle.api.DefaultTask
    - - org.gradle.plugin.devel.tasks.ValidatePlugins

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    `java.lang.Comparable<Task>`, `org.gradle.api.internal.DynamicObjectAware`, `org.gradle.api.internal.TaskInternal`, `ExtensionAware`, `Task`, `Configurable<Task>`

      @CacheableTask
      public abstract class ValidatePlugins
      extends DefaultTask

  Validates plugins by checking property annotations on work items like tasks and artifact transforms. This task should be used in Gradle plugin projects for doing static analysis on the plugin classes. The java-gradle-plugin adds a `validatePlugins` task, though if you cannot use this plugin then you need to register the task yourself. See the user guide for more information on incremental build and caching task outputs.
  Since:
    6.0
