@madorb kinda, yes, for fooBarVersion defined in gradle.properties you have to write val fooBarVersion by project
For me this is too verbose, I opted for just defining val fooBarVersion = '1.0' instead of defining the version in the properties and then declaring the delegate variable.
Or you can omit the declaration by making usage even more verbose: compile("foo:bar:${project.properties["fooBarVersion"]}")
