depndencyUpdates cannot determine version of retrolambda

[dalewking]

Have a project with this to add retrolambda and Ben Manes' versions plugin (https://github.com/ben-manes/gradle-versions-plugin)

plugins {
    id 'me.tatarka.retrolambda' version '3.6.0' apply false
    id 'com.github.ben-manes.versions' version '0.14.0'
}

The versions plugin has a dependencyUpdates task to report whether dependencies have later versions. However it is not able to determine if this plug in has any updates:

Failed to determine the latest version for the following dependencies (use --info for details):
 - gradle.plugin.me.tatarka:gradle-retrolambda

Would be nice if this worked

Relevant info when ran with --info:

Failed to determine the latest version for the following dependencies (use --info for details):
 - gradle.plugin.me.tatarka:gradle-retrolambda
The exception that is the cause of unresolved state: Could not find any matches for gradle.plugin.me.tatarka:gradle-retrolambda:+ as no versions of gradle.plugin.me.tatarka:gradle-retrolambda are available.

I think think the issue is that it is trying to look it up with gradle.plugin in front

Wouldn't this be an issue with that plugin then? Not sure what action I'd take here.

[dalewking]

Possibly, but I'm guessing this plugin is set up somewhat weird as it is the only one that has this problem.

It's an issue in gradle - https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/1297
