Does the java-platform plugin support the import scope?

[lingocoder]

Did you ever find anything out about this?

I had a need to research this myself a while back. Here’s what I bookmarked then:

• The Java Platform Plugin
• Using bills of materials (BOMs)
• Importing version recommendations from a Maven BOM

Here’s a relevant 2012 comment by Gradle dev @Peter_Niederwieser:

Gradle’s goal is to have decent Maven compatibility, not to replicate every Maven feature in existence. Some Maven features just don’t fit, and [import scope] is one of them. Fortunately, Gradle is flexible enough so that you can almost always script a custom solution.
