```
DependencyConstraint add(java.lang.String configurationName,
                         java.lang.Object dependencyConstraintNotation)
```
    Adds a dependency constraint to the given configuration.
    
    Parameters:
    
    configurationName - The name of the configuration.
    
    dependencyConstraintNotation - the constraint
  - add
```
DependencyConstraint add(java.lang.String configurationName,
                         java.lang.Object dependencyNotation,
                         Action<? super DependencyConstraint> configureAction)
```
    Adds a dependency constraint to the given configuration, and configures the dependency constraint using the given closure.
    
    Parameters:
    
    configurationName - The name of the configuration.
    
    dependencyNotation - The dependency constraint notation
    
    configureAction - The closure to use to configure the dependency constraint.
  - create
```
DependencyConstraint create(java.lang.Object dependencyConstraintNotation)
```
    Creates a dependency constraint without adding it to a configuration.
    
    Parameters:
    
    dependencyConstraintNotation - The dependency constraint notation.
  - create
```
DependencyConstraint create(java.lang.Object dependencyConstraintNotation,
                            Action<? super DependencyConstraint> configureAction)
```
    Creates a dependency constraint without adding it to a configuration, and configures the dependency constraint using the given closure.
    
    Parameters:
    
    dependencyConstraintNotation - The dependency constraint notation.
    
    configureAction - The closure to use to configure the dependency.
  - enforcedPlatform
```
DependencyConstraint enforcedPlatform(java.lang.Object notation)
```
    Declares a constraint on an enforced platform. If the target coordinates represent multiple potential components, the platform component will be selected, instead of the library. An enforced platform is a platform for which the direct dependencies are forced, meaning that they would override any other version found in the graph.
    
    Parameters:
    
    notation - the coordinates of the platform
    
    Since:
    
    5.0
  - enforcedPlatform
```
DependencyConstraint enforcedPlatform(java.lang.Object notation,
                                      Action<? super DependencyConstraint> configureAction)
```
    Declares a constraint on an enforced platform. If the target coordinates represent multiple potential components, the platform component will be selected, instead of the library. An enforced platform is a platform for which the direct dependencies are forced, meaning that they would override any other version found in the graph.
    
    Parameters:
    
    notation - the coordinates of the platform
    
    configureAction - the dependency configuration block
