Could somebody help converting plugins syntax back to apply plugin? I'm not on the new stuff yet

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?

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

how did you figure that out? just google better?

[Vampire]

Basically, yes 🙂

[ursus]

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 ?

[Vampire]

No, you can configure the plugin repositories in your settings script

[Vampire]

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
