From mobile apps to microservices, from small startups to big enterprises, Gradle helps teams build, automate and deliver better software, faster.

if you’re using the kotlin dsl, you can use
```val propName: String by settings```
if this value can be null, use `String?`

for reference: <https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/kotlin_dsl.html#project_properties>

I believe in groovy, the propName should just automagically be available in the settings file

And if the property has `.` in its name, you can use:
`settings.extra.get("test.prop")` in either DSL

Thanks for the input. I should have given some perspective before asking the question. My aim is to develop a new gradle plugin which will be applied in the settings script during initialization face of the gradle build cycle. For this, I would like to create a standalone project using Java/Groovy. Here in the standalone project source code, I wanted to access the gradle properties from the "settings" instance.

What Louis suggested should work from inside a settings plugin.

```settings.getExtensions().getExtraProperties()```
