Use external files for a gradle project

You can use a File or a URL as a plugin. Be sure to include a version number in the path.

Eg:

apply from: 'file:c:/common/gradle/1.0.0/build.gradle' 

Or

apply from: 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/my-github/my-project/master/gradle/1.0.0/build.gradle'

See PluginAware.apply(Map)
