Make sure the project is correctly set up (see just above).

Migrate project:

The refreshVersionsMigrate task can help you migrate your project in a few minutes, or less.

It requires a mode option. You can run it without it to see the complete list and the full description of each mode.

If you want to use only versions.properties and the built-in dependencies notations, run:

./gradlew refreshVersionsMigrate --mode=VersionsPropertiesOnly

If you want to also use Gradle's Versions Catalogs, run:

./gradlew refreshVersionsMigrate --mode=VersionCatalogAndVersionProperties

Find available updates in versions.properties:

./gradlew refreshVersions

Cleanup versions availability comments:

./gradlew refreshVersionsCleanup
