How can you use an init script to specify a repo/dependency for a plugin JAR, but allow version to be configured in build's root project?

This is how you could do it.

In your ‘init.gradle’:

class OurPlugins {
    def buildscript
      OurPlugins(buildscript) {
        this.buildscript = buildscript
        buildscript.repositories {
            mavenCentral()
        }
    }
          void jsPlugin(String version) {
        buildscript.dependencies {
            classpath "com.eriwen:gradle-js-plugin:$version"
        }
    }
}
  allprojects {
    extensions.create('ourPlugins', OurPlugins, buildscript)
}

Then in your ‘build.gradle’ (assuming you want to apply the plugin to all children):

buildscript {
    allprojects {
        ourPlugins.jsPlugin "1.0"
    }
}
  allprojects {
    apply plugin: "js"
}

The application has to be outside of the ‘buildscript’ block right now, and outside of the init script because of GRADLE-2407. When that is fixed, you could make it a little more concise.
