# gradle

@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

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".

[jmfayard]

@Marc Knaup they are generated by my plugin and correspond to whatever version that you are using in your build

[Marc Knaup]

@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?

[jmfayard]

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

[Marc Knaup]

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

[jmfayard]

@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
