There are many ways to do this, but my favourite is doing it through special environment variables which can be read as project properties.

ORG_GRADLE_PROJECT_nexus_user=foo
ORG_GRADLE_PROJECT_nexus_password=bar

Inside your task, just look for the project properties nexus_user and nexus_password:

@TaskAction
void download() {
    def user = project.findProperty('nexus_user') ?: ''
    def pass = project.findProperty('nexus_password') ?: ''
    ...
}
