@fitzoh I sorta get it, but... the extension is like the plugin configuration right? trying to figure out how I'm supposed to create that, with a Collection<SourceSet> when the configuration hasn't been made yet, how do I get at those parameters? or maybe something in my design is flawed, and I need to redesign a little, but I'm not sure how

[fitzoh]

So is the plan to discover all the sourcesSets in the project and add a checkstyle configuration for them, etc?

[fitzoh]

or do you want to configure a default group of sourcesets that your plugin works on?

[xenoterracide]

I want to configure a group of sourcesets my plugin works on

[xenoterracide]

really I'm just passing the configuration to the other plugins I'm configuring

[xenoterracide]

checkstyle {
    toolVersion = "8.4"
    sourceSets = listOf(java.sourceSets["main"])
}

spotbugs {
    toolVersion = "3.1.0"
    effort = "max"
    reportLevel = "low"
    sourceSets = listOf(java.sourceSets["main"])
}

basically I'm trying to dedupliate this

[fitzoh]

gotcha

[fitzoh]

so the first thing that I’m seeing is that the extension constructor takes a collection of extensions

[fitzoh]

but gradle doesn’t know how to provide that set of sourcesets, so it blows up

[xenoterracide]

basically and I get why it would, I'm just not sure what gradle is expexcting for me to make something like,

plugins { mine }  xeno {     sourceSets = listOf(java.sourceSets["main"]) }
