Use Libs.xxx in Gradle's resolutionStrategy

[jmfayard]

Context: buildSrcVersions is a Gradle plugin that makes it easier to manage your dependencies inside your IDE. It extracts all your dependencies and search for available dependencies updates.

You can use the information from Libs.kt to simplify your resolutionStragy:

val forceDependencies = listOf(Libs.retrofit, Libs.kotlin_reflect, Libs.kotlin_stdlib_jdk7)      // Kotlin
// def forceDependencies = [Libs.retrofit, Libs.kotlin_reflect, Libs.kotlin_stdlib_jdk7]  // Groovy

allprojects {
    configurations.all {
        resolutionStrategy {
            for (dependencyVersion in forceDependencies) {
                force(dependencyVersion)
            }
        }
    }
}

The same principle can be used for the resolutionStragy of plugins

pluginManagement {
    resolutionStrategy {
        eachPlugin {
            val plugin = requested.id.id
            val module = when {
                plugin.startsWith("com.android") -> Libs.com_android_tools_build_gradle
                plugin.startsWith("kotlin")  -> Libs.kotlin_gradle_plugin
                else -> return@eachPlugin
            }
            println("resolutionStrategy for plugin=$plugin : $module")
            useModule(module)
        }
    }
}

Doesn't make much sense now, the long term plan is to focus on :refreshVersions
