Hi all, I have a question RE Gradle + Kotlin, x-posting here as I got no response in the gradle channel :(

I'm only a Maven luser, but I think that Gradle plugins are for the build and dependencies are for your app…?

no, it's not redundant
the plugin automatically adds a fitting stdlib dependency but that doesn't help align other dependencies like a bom does

Interesting, because I did some experiment by removing the kotlin-bom dependency and only having the kotlin plugin, and any kotlin dependency I installed matched the version of the kotlin plugin always. That's why I wondered if it was redundant or not.

@ephemient reflect library doesn’t need the version too if you use the gradle plugin version, not sure what libs are included in the bom tho
