-Since this Gradle file uses both the `org.springframework.boot` and `com.google.protobuf` plugins, you'll get the following:
+protobuf {
+	plugins {
+		grpc {}
+	}
+}
+----
 
-* Configuration of the `protoc` version.
-* Configuration of the `protoc-gen-grpc-java` version.
+The `org.springframework.boot` reacts to the `com.google.protobuf` plugin and configures `protoc` and its version.
+Additionally, because the `protobuf` extension has been configured to use the `grpc` plugin, the `org.springframework.boot` plugin also configures `protoc-gen-grpc-java` and its version.
 
 The `.proto` files should be added to `src/main/proto`.
