@Marc Knaup I use my plugin

buildSrcVersions

for that. It extracts all dependencies with their exact version. So you only have to define which dependencies you want

val forceDependencies = listOf(Libs.kotlin_reflect, Libs.kotlin_stdlib_jdk7)

and then the

resolutionStrategy

block is always the same and straightforward https://github.com/jmfayard/buildSrcVersions/issues/28

Thanks @jmfayard. Where is

Libs

coming from? I don't want to set a specific version but use the one from the Kotlin Gradle Plugin. Also I don't want to list all possible Kotlin libraries but just state "whatever kotlin libraries there are, pin them to the same version".

@Marc Knaup they are generated by my plugin and correspond to whatever version that you are using in your build https://github.com/jmfayard/buildSrcVersions/blob/35b44c9e8386d5f68fe35eb330b464e763e00e00/sample-kotlin/buildSrc/src/main/kotlin/Versions.kt

@jmfayard doesn't that cause a recursion? The Gradle file can't compile without

Libs

present but for that you have to compile the Gradle file first?

Nope because the buildSrc module is compiled before anything else and is then available to all Gradle files

@jmfayard but how does the buildSrc know my dependencies? Or do I have to enter them all manually?

@Marc Knaup You have an existing Gradle project with dependency versions. You add the Gradle plugin. It reads the information from your build and generates those

Libs.kt

and

Versions.kt

. You can then use

<http://Libs.xxx|Libs.xxx>

in your builds. For a longer version, see the README. Tell me if there is something unclear https://github.com/jmfayard/buildSrcVersions
