Package org.gradle.testfixtures

## Class ProjectBuilder

- java.lang.Object
- - org.gradle.testfixtures.ProjectBuilder

-     public class ProjectBuilder
      extends Object

  Creates dummy instances of `Project` which you can use in testing custom task and plugin implementations.

  To create a project instance:

  1. Create a `ProjectBuilder` instance by calling `builder()`.
  2. Optionally, configure the builder.
  3. Call `build()` to create the `Project` instance.

  You can reuse a builder to create multiple `Project` instances.

  The `ProjectBuilder` implementation bundled with Gradle 3.0 and 3.1 suffers from a binary compatibility issue exposed by applying plugins compiled with Gradle 2.7 and earlier. Applying those pre-compiled plugins in a ProjectBuilder context will result in a `ClassNotFoundException`.
