A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

I was trying to migrate to the newer `plugin ..` syntax, but turns out I cannot reference  `ext`  where I define all my dependency versions.

Stackoverflow lead me to believe one should place plugin versions in `gradle.properties`, which I really don't like, as some dependencies need to be the same version as their respective plugin, and I don't like having two sources of truth.

Do you really deal with 2 sources of truth, or is there some newer way to manage dependency versions?

Will moving my config from `ext` to the version catalogue help?

Version catalogs are the idiomatic approach to centralizing versions.

great, I remember that not being the case some time ago

Yeah, before version catalogs existed. :smile:

Well, in 7.0 where they were a preview feature plugin versions were not in, but 7.2 added them
