This always confused me - somehow there's a magical `Project` object injected into settings files, meaning you can call `Project.files(...)`

no, Settings isn't Project. it is <https://docs.gradle.org/current/dsl/org.gradle.api.Script.html|Script> though

So this means, in case I use a custom Settings plugin, I could cast it to an Script, right? :thinking_face:

No, if you are not writing a script, you are not writing a script. Except if you write a precompiled script plugin, but then it also would just work without cast.

You could for example inject an `ObjectFactory` and use its methods to create a file collection.

How can I inject an ObjectFactory into an Settings plugin? :thinking_face:
Isn't this already too late?

I tried it with
```@Inject
lateinit var objectFactory: ObjectFactory```
but this crashed as objectFactory wasn't working (if I did it right :thinking_face: )

Why too late?
Crashed in what way?
I think it should be
```@get:Inject
abstract val objectFactory: ObjectFactory```
