From mobile apps to microservices, from small startups to big enterprises, Gradle helps teams build, automate and deliver better software, faster.

why don’t 

```plugins {
    `jvm-test-suite`
}```

It's better, but still I would prefer to have unified way  using all plugins

Until <https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/17968|https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/17968> is fixed, declare it with any version in the catalog, for example `_`. Then use `id(libs.plugins.whatEver.get().pluginId)`

We can retrieve property by using `_providers_.gradleProperty("keyName")` . Is there a way to define "local properties" in `local.properties` file (that is not committed to repo) and retrieve these properties by using _`providers...`_  syntax ?

If you code it, sure. Gradle unfortunately does not have "local" properties files.

Cna you share some light on what actually needs to be done to code such behaviour?

```providers.provider { /* extract the value here */ }```
