How to SpotBugsTask configuration in standalone plugin?

[Avi1235]

I would like to share the following configuration on many projects with a custom plugin, any help is appreciated 😄

spotbugsMain {
    reports {
        html {
            required = true
            outputLocation = file("$buildDir/reports/spotbugs/main/spotbugs.html")
            stylesheet = 'fancy-hist.xsl'
        }
    }
}

public class GradlePlugin implements Plugin<Project> {
    public void apply(Project project) {
        project.getPluginManager().apply(SpotBugsPlugin.class);
        // Register a task
        project.getTasks().register("greeting", task -> {
            task.doLast(s -> System.out.println("Hello from plugin 'gradle.greeting'"));
        });
    }
}

I'm not sure what the standalone plugin means.
Do you want to move the spotbugsMain { ... } from build script into your own plugin? If so, just invoke project.getTasks().register() in your plugin.

By standalone i meant the method i am using for creating my own plugin

That is exactly what i want to do.
Is there way to just access the spotbugsMain task and change the default configuration just like you do it on build script? maybe something like this:

        project.getPluginManager().apply(SpotBugsPlugin.class);
        project.getTasks().findByName("spotbugsMain").setProperty("reports.html.required", true);

I got it using groovy was easier, this is what i wanted to do just didn't know how 😅

class PluginprovyPlugin implements Plugin<Project> {
    void apply(Project project) {
        project.plugins.apply(SpotBugsPlugin)
        def buildDir = project.buildDir
        project.getTasks().configure {
            spotbugsMain {
                reports {
                    html {
                        required = true
                        outputLocation = project.file("$buildDir/reports/spotbugs/main/spotbugs.html")
                        stylesheet = 'fancy-hist.xsl'
                    }
                }
            }
        }
            // Register a task
            project.tasks.register("greeting") {
                doLast {
                    println("Hello from plugin 'pluginprovy.greeting'")
                }
            }
        }
}
