ArtifactTypeContainer

@Incubating interface ArtifactTypeContainer : NamedDomainObjectContainer<ArtifactTypeDefinition>

Defines a set of known artifact types and related meta-data. This allows you to fine tune how dependency resolution handles artifacts of a specific type. Each entry in this container defines a particular artifact type, such as a JAR or an AAR, and some information about that artifact type.
