 Description   

Plugins that worked with milestone-3 are failing with milestone-4. I
don't see anything in the breaking changes that would indicate I need
to do anything different in my buildSrc. I do not have a build.gradle
in buildSrc as it used to not be needed. Has something changed?

Also breaks the M2MetadataPlugin:
https://github.com/jbaruch/Gradle-M2Metadata-Plugin/commit/b85370ee5e480ae5850d165f4a0b12b95bfdb919

Which was compatible with the codebase partway into the RC4 nightlies...

Everyone may have figured this out by now, but the problem seems to be that the gradleApi() doesn't include gradle-plugins-1.0-milestone-4.jar which contains many necessary classes for plugins, SourceSet, etc. Like others, I've confirmed that my stuff breaks in 4 but works in 3.

Same for the Artifactory plugin (http://wiki.jfrog.org/confluence/display/RTF/Gradle+Artifactory+Plugin)

What's the best workaround until this is fixed?

Or, will there be an M5 out soon with a fix?

Comment by Adam Murdoch [ 15/Aug/11 ]

A workaround is:

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: "${gradle.gradleHomeDir}/lib/plugins", include: 'gradle*.jar')
}

We plan to get M5 out as soon as we've fixed the major regressions in M4.
