What would be option to stop gradle downloading kotlin from internet and use my repository in case I have conventional plugin that needs kotlin serialization plugin (or any other kotlin plugin). I have settings.gradle for plugin and it has

pluginManagement {
    repositories {
        maven { //my server url

Not sure what you mean.
Gradle only uses the repositories you define.

[Eugen Martynov]

Oke, found in the plugin build.gradle file

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

[Eugen Martynov]

Removing that worked

[Eugen Martynov]

So it was configuration of the project but not configuration of the plugin project

[Eugen Martynov]

Another question for me - find out if every plugin should have own settings file

[Vampire]

Every build should have its own settings script.

[Vampire]

If you have a composite build with multiple builds, each of that build should have its own settings script

[Eugen Martynov]

oke

[Vampire]

If you have an included plugins build and apply that plugin then in another build of that composite build, you probably need to declare your repository twice.

[Vampire]

Once in the plugin build as normal repository for dependencies, once at plugin respository in the build applying the plugins

[Vampire]

Declared repositories are not "transitive" / "inherited" / "however you want to call it".

[Vampire]

Each build has to declare the repositories where its dependencies should be resolved from and where its plugins and their dependencies should be resolved from

Thanks Bjorn!

It's Björn or Bjoern, not Bjorn. 😉
