Gradle7.3.3+Java17+IDEA环境下找不到implementation()方法问题

我有一个根项目构建文件build.gradle(:mainProj)，以及两个模块级构建文件build.gradle(:modA)、build.gradle(:modB)。之前项目使用Gradle 3.5在Eclipse中编译，现在切换到IntelliJ IDEA并将Gradle升级至7.3.3。执行命令PS C:\> gradle build可成功构建项目，但运行主文件时，modA的build.gradle第21行报错：找不到适用于参数[antlr:antlr:2.7.7]的implementation()方法。我已将旧的compile替换为implementation，但问题仍未解决。

原Gradle Wrapper配置 #

distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-3.5-bin.zip

升级后的Gradle Wrapper配置 #

distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.3.3-bin.zip

构建成功输出 #

Task :packageABC

解决方案 #

• 问题原因：Gradle 7.x中，implementation这类依赖配置方法是由Java插件提供的，modA的build.gradle未显式应用Java插件，导致无法识别该方法。
• 修复步骤：
  1. 在modA的build.gradle最顶部添加Java插件的应用代码：

     plugins {
         id 'java'
     }
     

  2. 同步Gradle项目后重新运行主文件即可。

若根项目已配置了全局插件，也可检查子模块是否正确继承了根项目的配置，但最直接的方式是给每个Java模块显式应用Java插件。
