+## Auto Installation
+
+The plugin automatically adds the Sentry Java SDK as well as available Sentry integrations as dependencies if it detects a library dependency we support. For example, if your project has a dependency on `graphql-java` the plugin will automatically add `sentry-graphql` as an additional dependency.
