You should probably ask the maintainers of that plugin how to use it, or its documentation.
This forum is more for Gradle questions, not for help with each and every plugin out there.
Maybe someone know and answers here and answers, just in case if not.

Also, I can greatly recommend switching to Kotlin DSL for your build scripts. By now it is the default DSL, you immediately get type-safe build scripts, actually helpful error messages if you mess up the syntax, and amazingly better IDE support if you use a good IDE like IntelliJ IDEA or Android Studio.

So, you are suggesting contacting jfrog gradle plugin contributors. Thanks. Let me do that…
