How do I find out a gradle task's actions and configurations that are composing it

Question

I want to investigate what kind of actions(instructions) + configurations are composing a specific gradle task(intention is to reverse-engineer it and rewrite it).

In my case this is the task that I want to do reverse-engineering on(from an android build):

:app:transformResourcesWithMergeJavaResForRelease

Which will help furthermore to investigate this issue: How do I resolve "Duplicate files copied in APK META-INF/*"
