The gradleApi() dependency was never supposed to expose the plugins, only the
core. The plugins were unintentionally included in previous versions, and in
milestone-4, gradleApi() was changed to include only the core API (ignoring the
fact that gradleApi() also includes all the runtime dependencies of core - that
is a separate problem).
We'll probably do as you suggest, and add some methods to declare dependencies
on the plugins. I think we should bust it up, so that you declare a dependency
on particular plugins, rather than all the Gradle plugins lumped together.
Perhaps something like:
dependencies {
compile plugin('java')
}
Another option is to deprecate gradleApi() and localGroovy(), and replace them
with a repository implementation that knows how to find stuff in
$gradleHome/lib:
repositories {
gradleDistro()
}
dependencies {
compile 'org.gradle:gradle-core:${gradle.gradleVersion}'
compile 'org.gradle:gradle-plugins:${gradle.gradleVersion}'
}
I don't think I like this approach.
Regardless of what we choose, in the meantime a workaround is:
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: "${gradle.gradleHomeDir}/lib/plugins", include:
'**/*.jar')
}
