5. *Gradle Plugin Development*:

If you are developing custom Gradle plugins for your project, `buildSrc` is a convenient place to house the plugin code.
This makes the plugins easily accessible within your project.

The `buildSrc` directory is treated as an <<composite_builds.adoc#composite_build_intro,included build>>.
