Applying plugin in init.gradle

Viewed 18

I have a very simple gradle plugin I've developed. I've been using it without issue in an example project, like so

build.gradle

apply plugin: "com.imrichardcole.simpleplugin"

settings.gradle

buildscript {
    dependencies {
        classpath files("plugins/simple_plugin-0.0.11.jar")
    }
}

Which works as expected. I'm now looking to move this from the projects build.gradle into init.gradle under ~/.gradle/ so that it can be applied to all gradle projects I might ever work on.

However when moving the above snippets into the init.gradle file, I get the error:

Plugin with id 'com.imrichardcole.simpleplugin' not found

Why does this work when it's inside build.gradle or settings.gradle but not init.gradle?
