Does anyone work in a multi-module project and a

buildSrc

module to maintain dependencies?

From what I've seen, although I'm not expert and can be mistaken, in buildSrc you're stuck with Kotlin version embedded in gradle distribution you're using. Everywhere else you can set Kotlin version you want. I myself use

buildSrc

like that. I have

versions

object in buildSrc and in

gradle.settings.kts

I'm reading kotlin version from that object and setting it for the plugin, all other references infer version from the plugin:

plugins {
// note no version
    kotlin("jvm") 
}
// ...
dependencies {
    compile(kotlin("stdlib-jdk8"))
// ...
}

Hm. Same as my current state. Not very satisfying. But thanks.
