SourceSet (Gradle API 6.6.1)

All Superinterfaces:

ExtensionAware
```
public interface SourceSet
extends ExtensionAware
```
A SourceSet represents a logical group of Java source and resource files. They are covered in more detail in the user manual.
The following example shows how you can configure the 'main' source set, which in this case involves excluding classes whose package begins 'some.unwanted.package' from compilation of the source files in the 'java' SourceDirectorySet:
```
 plugins {
     id 'java'
 }

 sourceSets {
   main {
     java {
       exclude 'some/unwanted/package/**'
     }
   }
 }
 
```
