Could somebody help converting plugins syntax back to apply plugin? I'm not on the new stuff yet
Copy code
plugins {
    id("symbol-processing") version "1.4.20-dev-experimental-20201222"
}
I searched maven for "symbol-processing" as to give me the full path, but no luck -- where is that plugin hosted if nothing else is specified?
v
plugins.gradle.org, but why should you use the legacy syntax?
So it seems to be
com.google.devtools.ksp:symbol-processing:1.4.20-dev-experimental-20201222
u
how did you figure that out? just google better?
v
Basically, yes 🙂
u
yea..sorry; btw since you were at it,
plugins
only looks at plugins.gradle.org, so if a plugin is not there, im screwed? do people then mix
plugins
and
apply plugin
?
v
No, you can configure the plugin repositories in your settings script

And besides that also included builds and buildSrc and their dependencies are also considered
And iirc plugin portal also forwards to JCenter and thus also Maven Central if it does not have something itself iirc
