In gradle, how to use a variable for a plugin version?
As of Gradle 5.6, you can declare your plugin versions in the gradle.properties file, and reference these properties in plugins block. For example, the gradle.properties fileļ¼ springBootVersion=2.2.0.RELEASE the plugins block in build.gradle: plugins { id “org.springframework.boot” version “${springBootVersion}” } See: https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/1697#issuecomment-506910915.
