Using a custom version resolution strategy with the Gradle Plugin Publish Plugin

build.gradle

buildscript {
  repositories {
    maven { url "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/" }
  }
  dependencies {
    classpath "com.gradle.publish:plugin-publish-plugin:0.9.6"
    classpath "com.netflix.nebula:nebula-kotlin-plugin:1.0.3"
  }
}

apply plugin: "com.gradle.plugin-publish"
apply plugin: "nebula.kotlin"

//add new configuration
configurations {
    pluginCompile
}

dependencies {
    compile gradleApi()

    //dependency with no version, to be inferred by nebula
    pluginCompile 'org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-reflect'

    //adds subsequently resolved depenedencies to compile configuration
    configurations.pluginCompile.resolvedConfiguration.firstLevelModuleDependencies.each {
        compile "${it.moduleGroup}:${it.moduleName}:${it.moduleVersion}"
    }
}
