public interface ConfigurationContainer

A ConfigurationContainer is responsible for managing a set of Configuration instances.

You can obtain a ConfigurationContainer instance by calling Project.getConfigurations, or using the configurations property in your build script.

The configurations in a container are accessable as read-only properties of the container, using the name of the configuration as the property name. For example:

 configurations.add('myConfiguration')
 configurations.myConfiguration.transitive = false
 

A dynamic method is added for each configuration which takes a configuration closure. This is equivalent to calling getByName(String, groovy.lang.Closure). For example:

 configurations.add('myConfiguration')
 configurations.myConfiguration {
     transitive = false
 }
