I'm considering to write a plugin that checks for updates of all dependencies used in a (multi-)project.
This is something that I currently do manually every once in a while and it is a rather cumbersome job that I'd therefore really like to see automated. The plan is to check for the maven-metadata, e.g. http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/commons-io/commons-io/maven-metadata.xml for commons-io:commons-io, evaluating at least <lastUpdated> and ideally also <release> and <latest> but this would obviously only work for maven repositories. But ideally, this would be part of the already present Gradle dependency handling so it could also work with any other supported repository type. Is there any way to already retrieve such information from the Gradle API? If not, are there any plans to add something along that line in the near future?
