# findPlugin

@Nullable
abstract fun findPlugin(id: String): AppliedPlugin(source)

Returns the information about the plugin that has been applied with the given ID, or null if no plugin has been applied with the given ID.

Plugins in the `"org.gradle"` namespace (that is, core Gradle plugins) can be specified by either name (e.g. `"java"`) or ID `"org.gradle.java"`. All other plugins must be queried for by their full ID (e.g. `"org.company.some-plugin"`).

Some Gradle plugins have not yet migrated to fully qualified plugin IDs. Such plugins can be detected with this method by simply using the unqualified ID (e.g. `"some-third-party-plugin"`.
