I'm finally getting back to the project that inspired this question. According to the answer, I need to add

buildscript{
    dependencies {
       ...
       classpath 'com.badlogicgames.gdx:gdx-tools:1.5.4'
    }
}

to my project's base build.gradle file. Of course, libgdx is at a different version now. I would like to use the gdxVersion variable similar to the various project's dependencies:

compile "com.badlogicgames.gdx:gdx-freetype:$gdxVersion"

When I try

classpath "com.badlogicgames.gdx:gdx-tools:$gdxVersion"

I get

Could not get unknown property 'gdxVersion' for object of type org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dsl.dependencies.DefaultDependencyHandler.

Clearly Gradle is unable to resolve the gdxVersion variable that is in allprojects.ext. What is the syntax to access this variable?
