    - #### getSource

          @Internal("tracked via stableSources")
          public FileTree getSource()

      Returns the source for this task, after the include and exclude patterns have been applied. Ignores source files which do not exist.

      The `PathSensitivity` for the sources is configured to be `PathSensitivity.ABSOLUTE`. If your sources are less strict, please change it accordingly by overriding this method in your subclass.

      Overrides:
        `getSource` in class `SourceTask`
      Returns:
        The source.

    - #### getJavaCompiler

          @Optional

      Configures the java compiler to be used to compile the Java source.
      Since:
        6.7
