Does this imply that:

dependencies {
        compile "junit:junit:+"
}

gets the latest available?

Is there a "metric" for deciding whether:

        compile "junit:junit:4.+"

is preferred or not compared to:

        compile group : 'junit' , name : 'junit' , version : '4.+'

Is the Gradle philosophy to ignore parentheses wherever possible?

Is the Gradle preferred idiom to have multiple compile calls:

        compile . . .
        compile . . . 
        compile . . .

 or to have a list to a single compile call:

        compile [ . . . , . . . , . . . ]


Thanks.
