In case it helps anyone in the future: that’s the behavior if you don’t load the `groovy` plugin.  :blush:

I may PR a warning message for the plugin.

You cannot really emit a warning cleanly, because you cannot reason about the absence of a plugin without dirty tricks.

But as CodeNarc only makes sense with Groovy, it might maybe be appropriate to apply the groovy plugin instead of reacting to its application.

“…without dirty tricks…” :smiling_imp:

Oh… yeah… I suppose it would be sane as a transitive dependency.  D’you know if there are others in… wait… yes… `war` loads other plugins, yeah?

Most internal plugins probably apply others and be it just the `base` plugin.

`application` applies `java` and `distribution`
`java` applies `java-base`
`java-base` applies `base`
