This Gradle plugin rejects dependencies (including transitives) whose version string includes a configurable list of patterns. It is intended to be used to block non-stable versions of dependencies from inadvertently being consumed by a project.

First, add the appropriate buildscript repository and dependency:

buildscript {
  repositories {
    mavenCentral()
  }
  dependencies {
    classpath "com.adtran:betablocker-plugin:1.+"
  }
}

Then apply the plugin using either the old style:

apply plugin: "com.adtran.betablocker-plugin"

...or the new style:

plugins {
  id "com.adtran.betablocker-plugin"
}

It's also available via plugins.gradle.org.

To configure the plugin, add a block like the following to your build.gradle:

betablocker {
  enabled true
  whitelist = []
  rejectedVersions = ["alpha", "beta", "m", "snap", "latest"]
}

These properties are described in the following table:
