Gradle Dependencies and Dependency Configurations TODEPLETE

Overview

Dependencies for a project can be managed with Project.dependencies(Closure), Project.getDependencies() and the "dependencies" build.gradle DSL element:

dependencies {
  // configuration closure
}

Configurations for a project can be managed with Project.configurations(Closure), Project.getConfigurations() and the "configurations" build.gradle DSL element:

configurations {
  // configuration closure
}

Configuration

https://docs.gradle.org/current/dsl/org.gradle.api.artifacts.Configuration.html

Configuration, in this context, does not refer to a configuration file of any sort, as in a settings configuration settings.gradle or a build configuration build.gradle. It refers to named set of dependencies or artifacts, and it can probably thought of as being a concept similar to a Maven scope.
