Optional timestamp printing

[szymon-owczarzak]

I would like to have an optional switch for AEM package deployment.
So that I can add to my <user>.gradle/gradle.properties file something like: aem.package.deploy.showTimestamp.
So when I get back from coffee or a call I can have a look at my console and know when I ran deployment last time.

There is already such feature. Check out instanceStatus task. It contains time when each package was last installed / deployed

My output does not contain this information:

> Task :instanceStatus
Instance 'local-author'
  URL: http://localhost:4502
  Version: 6.4.8.0 (on-prem)
  Status: Running
  Debug port: 14502

You mean about packages? Sometimes it need to be configured additionally when GAP is used only to setup instances. Not to build packages. However in that case I could instruct you how do add that info...

My idea was to have smth like this:

So when I get distracted and then I come back I know when I last built my project. (so I don't have to guess did I deployed recently or not)
This could be probably done by a custom Task but I'm not sure how to set it up so it is executed at the very end of the build.

sorry, misunderstood. it is a rather missing Gradle feature however I have a place for such improvement.

and to be honest, I will also appreciate such feature. I will consider adding it to  https://github.com/Cognifide/gradle-common-plugin when I will have some time. thanks!
