@NonExtensible
@Incubating

Factory class for creating Dependency instances, with strong typing.
DependencyHandler
Link copied to clipboard
interface DependencyHandler : ExtensionAware
A `DependencyHandler` is used to declare dependencies.
DependencyLockingHandler
Link copied to clipboard
interface DependencyLockingHandler
A `DependencyLockingHandler` manages the behaviour and configuration of dependency locking.
DependencyModifier
Link copied to clipboard
@Incubating
@NonExtensible
abstract class DependencyModifier
A `DependencyModifier` defines how to modify a dependency inside a custom `dependencies` block to select a different variant.
ExternalModuleDependencyVariantSpec
Link copied to clipboard
interface ExternalModuleDependencyVariantSpec
The specification of a dependency variant.
GradleDependencies
Link copied to clipboard
@Incubating
interface GradleDependencies : Dependencies
Dependency APIs available for `dependencies` blocks that can build software that relies on Gradle APIs.
LockMode
Link copied to clipboard
enum LockMode
The supported lock modes:

- `DEFAULT` will load the lock state and verify resolution matches it
- `STRICT` in addition to the `DEFAULT` behaviour, will fail resolution if a locked configuration does not have lock state defined
- `LENIENT` will load the lock state, to anchor dynamic versions, but otherwise be lenient about modifications of the dependency resolution, allowing versions to change and module to be added or removed

RepositoryHandler
Link copied to clipboard
interface RepositoryHandler : ArtifactRepositoryContainer
A `RepositoryHandler` manages a set of repositories, allowing repositories to be defined and queried.
