We're designing a similar DSL for targeting version-selection rules to a
particular module or set of modules (
https://github.com/gradle/gradle/blob/master/design-docs/component-metadata.md#story-build-script-targets-versionselection-rule-to-particular-module
).
I'm not sold on that DSL, but we do need a way to say "this block applies
to _all_ modules".
I guess we can either choose to use a string-based selector for choosing
the modules that apply:
dependencies {
components/versions/some-other-rule-type {
modules('*') {
}
modules('com.google.guava:*') {
}
modules('com.google.guava:guava') {
}
}
Or use explicit parameters:
dependencies {
components/versions/some-other-rule-type {
allModules {
}
group('com.google.guava') {
}
group('com.google.guave').name('guava') {
}
}
I think I prefer the first approach. But we should definitely aim for
consistency here.
