java exec 参数构造,如何使用JavaExec任务将Java代码嵌入Gradle构建

I have a Gradle-driven project to which I want to add a simple Java task. This task is very specific to the project and if it can be helped I don't want to develop it as a separate plugin. So the question is can I define such custom task within the same build.gradle I'm using for my project? Or is it inevitable that I need to package it as a separate project (plugin) and install to the local repo?

Also it's probably important to note that the original project is not Java related (no other Java code needs to be build)

P.S. Based on comments below:

I would like to add src/main/java/SomeUsefulStuff.java to the existing project and have that file compiled and used as a custom task. I do understand that it needs to be compiled each time I run the build but again - the code will be small. However it will have some external dependencies such as Commons IO
