In later versions of Gradle you no longer need to specify the version of your kotlin(stdlib|reflect|test)
dependencies, the Kotlin plugin will automatically configure them for you.
As for extracting the dependency to a single place, there are two main patterns:
- define the constants you want to share in an object within
buildSrc/src/main/kotlin/
and use that object in your build script, code frombuildSrc
is available to the whole script including theplugins
block -
use a system property, you can define a system property in
gradle.properties
by prefixing its name withsystemProp.
and you can access system properties viaSystem.getProperties()
, for example:// build.gradle.kts plugins { val kotlinVersion by System.getProperties() println("Kotlin version is $kotlinVersion") } // gradle.properties systemProp.kotlinVersion=1.2.20
