Is it possible to have a remote gradle.properties file

I would like to have a remote gradle.properties (living on a server somewhere) that I am able to pull into my build.gradle and use.

Or if there is a good way to extend gradle like a parent pom for gradle... I looked for this method first but did not find any good/up to date results...

The idea is, if I have a lot of project that all need the same version I can update them all using one file. This way I will not have to pull each repository manually edit the file then commit changes and push...

If there is any other method that will solve this problem I am open to any solutions that are good practice. Thanks!

For general Gradle configuration, you can create a custom plugin and publish it either internally or externally (Artifactory, Maven Central, etc).

• https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/custom_plugins.html
• https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/init_scripts.html#sec:init_script_plugins

For maintaining a consistent versions of dependencies (Maven dependency management BOM-like), then you'll want to create/publish a platform:

• Docs: https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/java_platform_plugin.html
• JUnit example: https://github.com/junit-team/junit5/blob/master/junit-bom/junit-bom.gradle.kts
• Published BOM: https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/junit/junit-bom/5.5.2/junit-bom-5.5.2.pom
