How to apply a community plugin to a Gradle project which is created by ProjectBuilder?

In my unit test I have this code which fails with “org.gradle.api.plugins.UnknownPluginException: Plugin with id ‘net.researchgate.release’ not found.”:

private Project createProject()
{
	Project project = ProjectBuilder.builder().withName('some-name').withProjectDir(Paths.get(System.getProperty('user.dir')).resolve('build').resolve('test').toFile()).build()
	project.buildscript
	{
		repositories
		{
			jcenter()
		}

		dependencies
		{
			classpath 'net.researchgate:gradle-release:2.1.0'
		}
	}

	project.pluginManager.apply 'net.researchgate.release'

	return project
}

Currently I use a workaraound (I’ve downloaded the gradle-release jar and added it to the testCompile dependencies). But I hope there is a better way.

Just add the plugin to your testing classpath.

  repositories {
    maven {
      url "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/"
    }
  }

  dependencies {
    testRuntime "net.researchgate:gradle-release:2.1.1"
  }
