is there a good way to configure a 3rd party plugin that might not be applied? or should I create a plugin that applies mine and that one? alternatively I'm guessing the option is to use reflection to set the properties? context: I want my publishing plugin to configure the gradle plugin publish, but I only want it to configure that if I've applied that plugin because I may not be publishing a gradle plugin

That's what

pluginManager.withPlugin

and a

compileOnly

dependency are for

cool, I didn't know about

withPlugin

and didn't know what to look for
