Using buildSrc is nearly the same, but it has some issues, buildSrc is a special case and any change there will invalidate all the projects.

But you can use precompiled script plugins anyway at a includedBuild

Thanks you for your clear answer cristian :pray: that helped me a lot.

Then, is it clear that a plugin with `includedBuild` is preferred to a `precompiled plugin` in most situations?
If so, what is the reason for the existence of a `precompiled plugin`? Is it just a deprecated feature?

Precompiled plugin is not the same as buildSrc

buildSrc is what you shouldn't use (but in some cases is great)

Precompiled plugin is about using the same DSL you would use to write gradle build scripts

So, you can use precompiled plugins (either in groovy or kotlin)
But what I suggest you is doing it in a includedBuild instead of using buildSrc

Oh, I understand !!
I misunderstood about the precompiled plugin.
Thank you for the detailed explanation! :smiley: :smiley:

Also, in 99% if you use `allprojects { ... }` or `subprojects { ... }` you are doing it wrong. Avoid them wherever you can.
