As said in the other mail. You use the buildSrc root folder of your
project not of Gradle.

The question is, if there are multiple projects supposed to use your
plugin or not. If so, it would make sense to have a stand alone build
for your plugin. The resulting jar could be uploaded to a repository.
Via the settings.gradle file you would add this jar to the build
script classpath of the other projects. If only a single project
needs this plugin, it might be not necessary to use a plugin at all.
After all you can create the tasks and properties directly in your
project build script, possibly using helper classes defined in the
buildScr folder.

I would like to have a standalone build for this plugin if I can.   
This is
also how I plan on separating out common build logic for all  
projects I
might work with.  I've changed my plugin project a lot as well as  
the build
script and I have a different error, which I have included a  
screenshot of:

The groovy jar is not in your classpath. See the first paragraph of  
chapter 10 in the user's guide.


When I get this working, what do I need to put in the  
settings.gradle file
in order for it to recognize the plugin?

Nothing special. You just have to add the jar to the build script  
classpath.

settings.gradle:
dependencies('org.jerod:mavenPlugin:1.0')

build.gradle:
usePlugin('org.jerod.MyMavenPlugin') // fully qualified name your  
plugin class.

See also chapter 15 of the user's guide.

I only have experience adding
dependencies as they relate to java compilation, so where do I need  
to put
the plugin.jar or how do I get it from the repository before gradle  
starts
looking for it?  I appreciate all of this help very much.
