Adding repositories to the buildscript

Help/Discuss
1

Hey all. I have recently started working on my (first) gradle plugin. Yay!
Anyway, I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I am attempting to add a maven repository and dependency to the buildscript during the Plugin apply method.

maven { name = "forge" url = "http://files.minecraftforge.net/maven" }

project.getBuildscript().getRepositories(); // add project.getBuildscript().getDependencies().add("classpath", "net.minecraftforge.gradle:ForgeGradle:2.2-SNAPSHOT"); project.getPlugins().apply("net.minecraftforge.gradle.forge");

Is this something that can be done? And if so, I am unsure of how to implement the DefaultMavenArtifactRepository in the project.getBuildscript().getRepositories().add(…) function.

You can do that only in an init script plugin (applied to an instance of Gradle). There are examples how to do it - just search.
