Alternate name for gradle/settings ?

Thoughts on these alternative locations for gradle/settings ?

• gradle/settings-plugins
• gradle/settings/plugins
• gradle/plugins/settings

These all contain plugins which and not just settings which seems clearer to me.

Also, maybe consider turning on the Github Discussions feature on this repo, for items like this. :)

In the "sister repository" gradle-project-setup-howto I now used this location: gradle/meta-plugins

And then I have:

• gradle/meta-plugins/build-parameters-plugins
• gradle/meta-plugins/plugin-analysis-plugins
• gradle/meta-plugins/settings-plugins

I required something like this, because I had even more plugins that I want to apply to plugin development itself (hence "meta"). It's nice that you can do this, because it gives the possibility to write some custom logic to analyse the build configuration itself. (Like creating a graph of convention plugin application order, which is what the code in 'plugin-analysis-plugins' is doing in the example.)

On the other hand this adds more complexity to the setup.

I think this is related to this if the question is: Where to put plugins that are used by "gradle/plugins" aka "build-logic" itself?
