Old Forum

I raised https://github.com/ben-manes/gradle-versions-plugin/issues/16 for it.

Execution failed for task ':dependencyUpdates'.
> java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.version.LatestVersionSemanticComparator

This is more or less an FYI report for your “Known issues” section.

I think the ‘dependencyUpdates’ functionality should be integrated into Gradle. It’s very helpful but also quite fragile since it depends on Gradle internals.

This does not really belongs to our ‘known issues’. It seems that this 3rd party plugin uses internal api that has changed in between releases and it needs to be fixed in the plugin code, not in Gradle. I see it being fixed in the plugin already.

Hope that helps!

Quite possibly. Thanks for feedback!
