Well, what you do is extremely bad practice and highly discouraged, so there is none, at least no "direct" one. Querying the project model of another project is almost as bad as cross-configuring it.

You must not directly depend on tasks of other projects

If you want to depend on those jars, expose them as variants if they are none yet and depend on those variants, then you also have the necessary task dependencies automatically.

In the compiler plugin tests I need to get the jars from other projects (mainly the annotations) I will recheck if the template has been updated but it was doing that

Looks like they have moved away from jars and they use a new

annotationsRuntimeClasspath

configuration https://github.com/Kotlin/compiler-plugin-template/blob/master/compiler-plugin/build.gradle.kts • PR: https://github.com/Kotlin/compiler-plugin-template/pull/12/files Before it was

Copy code

dependsOn(project(":plugin-annotations").tasks.getByName("jar"))

Well, probably they learned that this is very evil and thus changed it 🙂

See e.g. the warning at https://docs.gradle.org/8.5/userguide/cross_project_publications.html 🙂
