Gradle - dependencies with because statement

user7294900 :

I'm new to gradle, I found in build.gradle.kts inside dependencies because clauses/statements

dependencies { 
  implementation("commons-io:commons-io") {
      because("IOUtils")
  }
  implementation("org.apache.commons:commons-text") {
      because("StringEscapeUtils")
  }

I didn't find in any Gradle dependencies documentation such because clause

Is it just a custom clause similar to adding java docs and could have been rename to any string as myreason("""my reason is other""")

Or is becasue statement used by Gradle ?

Larusso :

You can find it in the org.gradle.api.artifacts.Dependency internface

https://docs.gradle.org/current/javadoc/org/gradle/api/artifacts/Dependency.html#because-java.lang.String-

@Incubating
