How do I include a convention plugin from *build-logic/src/main/kotlin/my-conventions.kts ?* Using
```
 id("build-logic.my-conventions")```
throws * Exception is:
org.gradle.api.plugins.UnknownPluginException: Plugin [id: 'build-logic.my-conventions'] was not found in any of the following sources:

Your plugin ID is *`my-conventions`.*
*Which actually is bad practice, as ones without namespace (dot in name) should stay reserved for built-in plugins.*

Add a `package` statement in the script or rename the file accordingly

Follow up: in build-logic/build.gradle.kts I can use
```    alias(libs.plugins.versions)```
but not in the convention plugin in *build-logic/src/main/kotlin/my-conventions.kts*

No, you add the plugin as dependency in the build script of `build-logic` and in the convention plugin just apply using the plain ID

all these build script exceptions drive me nuts :slightly_smiling_face:

there's no way to turn a plugin spec in libs.versions.toml into a dependency instead, correct?

like,
```dependencies {
 implementation(libs.plugins.versions)
}```

Not yet unfortunately.

But you can use a helper function like
```private fun plugin(plugin: Provider<PluginDependency>) = plugin.map {
    "${it.pluginId}:${it.pluginId}.gradle.plugin:${it.version.requiredVersion}"
}```
