id

abstract fun id(id: String): PluginDependencySpec

Add a dependency on the plugin with the given id.

 plugins { id "org.company.myplugin" }

Further constraints (e.g. version number) can be specified by the methods of the return value.

 plugins { id "org.company.myplugin" version "1.3" }

Plugins are automatically applied to the current script by default. This can be disabled using the apply false option:

 plugins { id "org.company.myplugin" version "1.3" apply false }

This is useful to reuse task classes from a plugin or to apply it to some other target than the current script.

id - the id of the plugin to depend on

Return
a mutable plugin dependency specification that can be used to further refine the dependency
