    • apply

      void apply(String pluginId)
      Applies the plugin with the given ID. Does nothing if the plugin has already been applied.

      Plugins in the "org.gradle" namespace can be applied directly via name. That is, the following two lines are equivalent… 

       pluginManager.apply "org.gradle.java"
 pluginManager.apply "java"
      Parameters:
      pluginId - the ID of the plugin to apply

    • apply

      void apply(Class<?> type)
      Applies the given plugin. Does nothing if the plugin has already been applied.

      The given class should implement the Plugin interface, and be parameterized for a compatible type of this.

      The following two lines are equivalent… 

       pluginManager.apply org.gradle.api.plugins.JavaPlugin
 pluginManager.apply "org.gradle.java"
      Parameters:
      type - the plugin class to apply

    • findPlugin

      @Nullable AppliedPlugin findPlugin(String id)
      Returns the information about the plugin that has been applied with the given ID, or null if no plugin has been applied with the given ID.

      Plugins in the "org.gradle" namespace (that is, core Gradle plugins) can be specified by either name (e.g. "java") or ID "org.gradle.java". All other plugins must be queried for by their full ID (e.g. "org.company.some-plugin").

      Some Gradle plugins have not yet migrated to fully qualified plugin IDs. Such plugins can be detected with this method by simply using the unqualified ID (e.g. "some-third-party-plugin".

      Parameters:
      id - the plugin ID
      Returns:
      information about the applied plugin, or null if no plugin has been applied with the given ID

      2.3

    • hasPlugin

      boolean hasPlugin(String id)
      Returns true if a plugin with the given ID has already been applied, otherwise false.
      Parameters:
      id - the plugin ID. See findPlugin(String) for details about this parameter.
      Returns:
      true if the plugin has been applied
      Since:
      2.3

    • withPlugin

      void withPlugin(String id, Action<? super AppliedPlugin> action)

      If a plugin with the specified ID has already been applied, the supplied action will be executed immediately. Otherwise, the action will executed immediately after a plugin with the specified ID is applied.

      The given action is always executed after the plugin has been applied.

      Parameters:
      id - the plugin ID. See findPlugin(String) for details about this parameter.
      action - the action to execute if/when the plugin is applied
