=====

For the following use cases, consider these alternatives when replacing a `beforeResolve` hook:

* **Adding dependencies**: Use link:{javadocPath}/org/gradle/api/artifacts/Configuration.html#withDependencies-org.gradle.api.Action-[`withDependencies`].
* **Changing dependency versions**: Use <<using_preferred_versions,preferred version constraints>>.

                importMgmts.add(importMgmt);
            }
        }

        importIds.remove(importing);

        model = model.withDependencyManagement(model.getDependencyManagement().withDependencies(deps));

        return dependencyManagementImporter.importManagement(model, importMgmts, request, problems);
    }

    private DependencyManagement loadDependencyManagement(
            Model model,

                    .map(candidate -> addExclusions(candidate, exclusions))
                    .collect(Collectors.toList());
            importMgmt = importMgmt.withDependencies(dependencies);
        }

        return importMgmt != null ? new DependencyManagement(importMgmt) : null;

    private static org.apache.maven.api.model.Dependency addExclusions(

            if (dependencies.isEmpty()) {
                action.execute(dependencies);

        });
        return this;

    @Override

* NamedDomainObjectProvider<Configuration>.setTransitive
* NamedDomainObjectProvider<Configuration>.singleFile
* NamedDomainObjectProvider<Configuration>.state

You should prefer to directly reference the methods from `Configuration`.
