Is there a way to tell android to always take the latest gradle plugin?

In my gradle.build, generated for me by Eclipse, I had 

dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.4'
 }

Now there was a serious issue with the 0.4 version (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/adt-dev/_pB-fsNZapM/Ogcamgw-X9wJ) so I had to change gradle.build to use 0.4.2 where it has been fixed:

dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.4.2'
 }

Is there a way, though, to tell in the gradle.build to always pick up the latest possible android gradle plugin version?

I think that you can use ranges as it is supported by modern ivy versions.

Using latest.release instead of a fixed version should do in your case.

Instead of a version number you can supply a +. It works as a wildcard.

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.4.+'

will take the latest until 0.5.0 comes out.

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.+'

will take the latest until 1.0.0 comes out.

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:+'

will always take the latest.
