I've recently been learning how to write a Gradle plugin and want to document my insights.

Types of Plugins​

There are three ways to implement a Gradle plugin: Script plugins, Precompiled script plugins, and Binary plugins.

• Script plugins: The plugin logic is implemented directly in the build.gradle file and can only be used in the current build.
• Precompiled script plugins: The plugin logic is implemented in a separate file (either .gradle or .gradle.kts) within the project and can be used across multiple builds in the project.
• Binary plugins: The plugin logic is implemented in a standalone project and packaged as a JAR file, which can be referenced and used in other projects by including the JAR file.

In this article, we'll create a Binary plugin using a separate project.
