Task 'release' not found in root project 'foo'

[Davide Cavestro]

Added apply from: "http://launchpad.net/gradle-release/trunk/latest/+download/apply.groovy" to my build.gradle. I get:

Task 'release' not found in root project 'foo'.

This probably happens cause gradle doesn't follows redirects (see http://issues.gradle.org/browse/GRADLE-1210 ). I've reproduced the issue using gradle 1.0-rc3.
The question was originally asked at https://answers.launchpad.net/gradle-release/+question/196278 but no one gave an answer so it expired.

Could you update plugin's documentation using the "https" protocol instead of "http" when applying the plugin?

Thank you Davide for finding a work-a-round. I have updated the documentation to use https vs http. Hopefully that solves it.

However, I also plan on moving over the files to the tellurianring.com server so that they can be statically references instead of the redirect.
