Method details

void apply(Class<?> type)

Note: This method is incubating and may change in a future version of Gradle.

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"

void apply(String pluginId)

Note: This method is incubating and may change in a future version of Gradle.

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"

AppliedPlugin findPlugin(String id)

Note: This method is incubating and may change in a future version of Gradle.

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".

boolean hasPlugin(String id)

Note: This method is incubating and may change in a future version of Gradle.

Returns true if a plugin with the given ID has already been applied, otherwise false.

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

Note: This method is incubating and may change in a future version of Gradle.

Executes the given action when the specified plugin is applied.

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.
