it simplifies buildscripts a lot and learning how to move constants and functions into buildSrc also helps with that

[dave08]

Why move constants there and not use the extra delegate functions @Nikky?

[Nikky]

because then you still have no idea if it will blow up in your face
val notThere: String by project
might or might not work based on what is in gradle.properties, or the arguments or the user properties etc
and it gives you no ways to jump to the code

[dave08]

Ok, that makes sense. So you put this file in the root project and copy it in all your projects?

It might be interesting to have a gradle plugin for the most common deps 🙂, with the ability to change the versions.
