I would like to move helper functions which I use ...

# gradle

I would like to move helper functions which I use often across projects into an own artifact. Yet, I cannot find the jar which includes e.g. KotlinSettingsScript which is in package org.gradle.kotlin.dsl. Is this somehow available? it looks like it is incorporated into gradle itself. Any idea?
basically this but as jar 🙂 https://gradle.github.io/kotlin-dsl-docs/api/org.gradle.kotlin.dsl/index.html

I found a solution/workaround by applying the kotlin-dsl plugin

kotlin-dsl applies java-gradle-plugin, kotlin-dsl.base, and kotlin-dsl.precompiled-script-plugins plugins
kotlin-dsl.base plugin applies embedded-kotlin, adds gradleKotlinDsl() to the dependencies of compileOnly and testImplementation configurations, and configures the Kotlin DSL compiler plugins for example for proper SAM conversion for Action and similar.

So if you are just after having the Gradle Kotlin DSL classes in your dependencies, you can use gradleKotlinDsl() 🙂

Like dependencies { compileOnly(gradleKotlinDsl()) }
