Gradle plugin jar is missing classes #758

* What went wrong:
Plugin [id: 'net.bytebuddy.byte-buddy-gradle-plugin'] was not found in any of the following sources:
- Gradle Core Plugins (plugin is not in 'org.gradle' namespace)
- Plugin Repositories (plugin dependency must include a version number for this source)
It's possible to overcome by adding a version:




    

id 'net.bytebuddy.byte-buddy-gradle-plugin' version '1.10.2' 
Gradle throws a class not found exception when invoking the plugin:

The reason is that the jar that's published in maven contains only the plugin classes. Not sure if the right thing to do is to fatjar the missing classes, I was able to overcome it by adding it into the configuration :
buildscript {
  repositories {
    maven {
      url "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/"
  dependencies {
    classpath "gradle.plugin.net.bytebuddy:byte-buddy-gradle-plugin:1.10.1"
    classpath "net.bytebuddy:byte-buddy-dep:1.10.1"
It's awesome that you can configure the plugin, could be that it's worth while to add an example for configuring a plugin with an argument:
configurations {
  examplePlugin
dependencies {
  examplePlugin "foo:bar:1.0"
byteBuddy {
  transformation {
    plugin = "com.yahoo.MyPlugin"
    classPath = configurations.examplePlugin
    argument { value = 'Some parameter' }
