id

Add a dependency on the plugin with the given id.

plugins {
    id "org.company.myplugin"
}

Further constraints (e.g. version number) can be specified by the methods of the return value.

plugins {
    id "org.company.myplugin" version "1.3"
}

Plugins are automatically applied to the current script by default. This can be disabled using the apply false option:

plugins {
    id "org.company.myplugin" version "1.3" apply false
}

This is useful to reuse task classes from a plugin or to apply it to some other target than the current script.
