- Method Detail
  - getPluginDir
```
org.gradle.api.provider.Provider<java.io.File> getPluginDir()
```
    Cache directory for plugins / providers.
    
    Returns:
    
    Location of plugin directory.
  - getPluginDirTimeout
```
org.gradle.api.provider.Provider<java.lang.Integer> getPluginDirTimeout()
```
    Local timeout for the cache directory for plugins / providers.
    
    Returns:
    
    Timeout in milliseconds. If less than 1, then no lock will be performed
  - useConfiguredPluginCache
```
void useConfiguredPluginCache()
```
    Use the plugin cache directory configured in the global configuration of the root project.
  - useCustomPluginCache
```
void useCustomPluginCache()
```
    Use a custom plugin cache directory for this source set.
    The plugin dir will be place underneath the project cache directory and is guaranteed to have a unique name with the context of the whole project hierarchy.
  - useCustomPluginCache
```
void useCustomPluginCache(java.lang.Object dir,
                          java.lang.Integer timeout)
```
    Use a custom plugin cache by specifying both a directory and a lock timeout.
    
    Parameters:
    
    dir - Directory where the cache should be located. Anything convertible to a file.
    
    timeout - Lock timeout in milliseconds. If this directory to the source set, pass zero to avoid locking mechanisms. However, if this directory is still shared, provide a timeout for safety purposes.
