Overview

Most of Gradle's power comes from external plugins. A plugin is an extension to Gradle which configures the project it is applied to in some way, typically by adding plugin-specific dependency configurations, tasks and properties. Plugins can be applied to Projects because Project implements PluginAware.

External Plugins

If a build requires external plugins that need to be downloaded dynamically, build.gradle allows for a special script block buildscript{...} to declare where to download those plugins from. If the plugin is unknown, Gradle will fail with:

Plugin with id 'nebula.ospackage-application' not found.

An external plugin is declared as follows:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven { url 'https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/' }
    }
  dependencies {
    classpath 'com.netflix.nebula:gradle-ospackage-plugin:4.3.0'
  }
}
