How can I import groovy class to build.gradle script?

Question

I have this project structure:

And I try to use these classes in build.gradle script:

task generateStubs(type: XjcExecTask) {

But Gradle doesn't see this class XjcExecTask .

I try to add import com.pavel.* to this script but it doesn't recognize.

If your custom Groovy classes XjcExecTask and WsimportExecTask purpose is to be used by your build script only (and not packaged into a library you will share to other projects), then you should move the builder subproject into a so-called buildSrc project: see detailed description in following guides:
