Hello friends, I've got news!

I implemented support for versions catalog:
- generating automatically gradle/libs.versions.toml
- rewriting the files build.gradle(.kts) to use them
- adding dependency updates in gradle/libs.versions.toml

It's published in the snapshot version "0.40.2-SNAPSHOT"

Have a look at the Testing? pargraph from the pull-request https://github.com/jmfayard/refreshVersions/pull/509

i enabled it in one of my random projects..
but i think it needs to use version references..
and the version grouping rules
i left comment on github about thats..


also.. since it generates the comments in the toml file.. will version.properties not be used then ?
just using toml would work for me as long as i can continue to use $group:$artifact:_ depedencies and refreshVersion automatically adds them to the catalogs [libraries] and [versions] section

[Nikky]

very awesome progress

[jmfayard]

yep, I got the comment on version grouping rules, I will do it

[Nikky]

also.. when using the catalog.. will having a version.properties file around be required ?
or will that go away eventually ?

[jmfayard]

I'm not sure to be honest. If you use the built-in dependencies or if you are on Gradle < 7.4, the file is required
Even if that file is empty, its metadata is used for various tasks
