How do I define a variable for the dependency version in Gradle

Question

I am currently trying to migrate a Maven project to Gradle

In my Maven version I have the dependency versions all listed out l

Answer 1

On gradle v6.1.1, the simplest is:

dependencies {
    def jerseyVersion = '2.29.1'
    compile group: 'org.glassfish.jersey.core', name: 'jersey-client', version: jerseyVersion

    // ...
}

Answer 2

You can use now even more close to the dependencies in the App Gradle Build as shown below:

dependencies {
    def daggerVersion = "2.24"
    implementation "com.google.dagger:dagger:$daggerVersion"
    annotationProcessor "com.google.dagger:dagger-compiler:$daggerVersion"
}
