    - #### version

          PluginDependencySpec version​(@Nullable
                                       String version)

           plugins {
               id "org.company.myplugin" version "1.0"
           }

      By default, dependencies have no (i.e. `null`) version.

      Core plugins must not include a version number specification. Community plugins must include a version number specification.
      Parameters:
        `version` - the version string (`null` for no specified version, which is the default)
      Returns:
        this

    - #### version

          default PluginDependencySpec version​(Provider<String> version)

      Specify the version of the plugin to depend on.

           plugins {
               id "org.company.myplugin" version libs.versions.myplugin
           }

      Parameters:
        `version` - the version provider, for example as found in a version catalog
      Returns:
        this
      Since:
        7.2

    - #### apply

          PluginDependencySpec apply​(boolean apply)

      Specifies whether the plugin should be applied to the current project. Otherwise it is only put on the project's classpath.

      This is useful when reusing classes from a plugin or to apply a plugin to sub-projects:

           plugins {
               id "org.company.myplugin" version "1.0" apply false
           }

           subprojects {
               if (someCondition) {
                   apply plugin: "org.company.myplugin"
               }
           }

      Parameters:
        `apply` - whether to apply the plugin to the current project or not. Defaults to true
      Returns:
        this
