Detect out-of-date dependencies and offer to update

[sanity]

I've used gradle-versions-plugin for this, but something similar with IDE support could also modify build.gradle to apply the updated versions.

Hi @sanity, there used to be a way to do this in Android Studio but now I can't find it anymore. It's really a great idea and I think it's worth checking out.

@scana @sanity Actually this is exactly what my own Gradle plugin does (and it's based on the gradle-versions-plugin!)

I was thinking about referencing your project on my page, because they are very complementary!
What my project does not do is letting you add easily a dependency.

It's integrated in the IDE in the sense that you just need to add a Run Configuration that run the Gradle task syncLibs and then you edit your gradle files with full IDE support.

@jmfayard hey, I mentioned you and your plugin in https://github.com/scana/ok-gradle#would-you-like-to-automatically-update-your-dependencies :)
Please let me know if you would like me to write something else in your project's description
