wsdl2java section is run every time for every task

[cleankod]

My wsdl2java{} definition:

wsdl2java {
    generatedWsdlDir = file("$projectDir/src/generated")
    wsdlDir = file("$projectDir/src/resources/wsdl")
    wsdlsToGenerate = getWsdlDefinitions()
}

As you can see the wsdlsToGenerate is built dynamically by other function (the code is simplified a lot):

def getWsdlDefinitions() {
    println "Adding WSDL definitions."
    def wsdlDefinitions = []
    wsdlDefinitions.addAll(wsdl2javadir("xxx"))
    wsdlDefinitions.addAll(wsdl2javadir("yyy"))
    return wsdlDefinitions
}

The contents of wsdl2javadir() function are not important here. The above solution causes the println output each time I run any of the Gradle tasks (even other than wsdl2java) which implies that this wsdl2java {} section is run every time for every Gradle task.

Is there a way of defining this configuration without causing this issue?

That's how Gradle works; your method gets evaluated as part of the configuration phase.

You could try to put it in a closure instead:

 wsdl2java {
  wsdlsToGenerate = { getWsdlDefinitions() }
 }

That might work. If not, the task needs to be changed to support this, I guess.
