    - #### getMainModule

          @Optional
          @Input
          Property<String> getMainModule()

      The name of the main module to be executed if the application should run as a Java module.
      Since:
        6.4

    - #### getMainClass

          @Optional
          @Input
          Property<String> getMainClass()

      The fully qualified name of the Main class to be executed.

      This does not need to be set if using an Executable Jar with a `Main-Class` attribute.

      Use this property instead of `getMain()` and `setMain(String)`.

      Since:
        6.4

    - #### getMain

          @Nullable
          @Optional
          @ReplacedBy("mainClass")
          String getMain()

      Returns the fully qualified name of the Main class to be executed.

      This does not need to be set if using an Executable Jar with a `Main-Class` attribute.

    - #### setMain

          JavaExecSpec setMain​(@Nullable
                               String main)

      Sets the fully qualified name of the main class to be executed.
      Parameters:
        `main` - the fully qualified name of the main class to be executed.
      Returns:
        this

    - #### getArgs

          @Nullable
          @Optional
          @Input
          List<String> getArgs()

      Returns the arguments passed to the main class to be executed.

    - #### args

          JavaExecSpec args​(Object... args)

      Adds args for the main class to be executed.
      Parameters:

        4.6

    - #### classpath

          JavaExecSpec classpath​(Object... paths)
