Gradle plugin naming convention

Question

Is there an unwritten convention (or a written one, I didn't find) how a Gradle plugin for technology XXX would be called? Examples for the two obvious possibilities:

• XXX-gradle-plugin: license-gradle-plugin
• gradle-XXX-plugin: gradle-cargo-plugin

I think there are good reasons for both naming conventions. In the Maven community the naming XXX-maven-plugin is recommended , so I currently tend to use this one. Am I missing something?

Answer 1

There is no written convention. Personally I prefer gradle-XXX-plugin, to (hopefully) make it clear that it's a plugin for Gradle.
