[maven plugin] Unable to set developer organization in generated POM file using the pom.project {} closure

Bugs
1

The following will not work as expected:

pom.project {
  developers {
    developer {
      name 'Louis Jacomet'
      organization 'MyOrganization'
    }
  }
}

The resulting tag in the produced pom will be something like:

<organization>org.apache.maven.model.Organization@7beef0a8</organization>

I am assuming this comes from the fact that the pom file contains an organization tag at the first level which happens to be a complex type while the one inside developer is a simple node with text.

Environment:

$ ./gradlew --version

Find below a patch for DefaultMavenPomTest that shows the problem:

I think it works if you use =

pom.project {
  developers {
    developer {
      name = 'Louis Jacomet'
      organization = 'MyOrganization'
    }
  }
}

So doing organization = 'MyOrganization' indeed resolves the problem.

Thanks!
