 Gradle setup
 ------------
-Add this to your root build.gradle (project level): 
+For Android projects, add the ObjectBox Gradle plugin to your root `build.gradle`: 
 
 ```groovy
 buildscript {
-    ext.objectboxVersion = '2.9.1'
+    ext.objectboxVersion = "3.0.0"
+    repositories {        
+        mavenCentral()    
+    }
     dependencies {
-        classpath "io.objectbox:objectbox-gradle-plugin:$objectboxVersion"
+        classpath("io.objectbox:objectbox-gradle-plugin:$objectboxVersion")
     }
 }
 ```
 
-And this to our app's build.gradle (module level):
+And in your app's `build.gradle` apply the plugin:
 
 ```groovy
-apply plugin: 'io.objectbox' // after applying Android plugin
+// Using plugins syntax:
+plugins {
+    id("io.objectbox") // Add after other plugins.
+}
+
+// Or using the old apply syntax:
+apply plugin: "io.objectbox" // Add after other plugins.
 ```
 
 First steps
 -----------
-Create data object class `@Entity`, for example "Playlist".
-```java
+Create a data object class `@Entity`, for example "Playlist".
+```
+// Kotlin
+@Entity data class Playlist( ... )
+
+// Java
 @Entity public class Playlist { ... }
 ```
 Now build the project to let ObjectBox generate the class `MyObjectBox` for you.
