thus, a block such as apply<PluginClassGoesHere>() works for core plugins alone, or 3rd plugins that have already been placed in the local gradle distribution. An alternative would be to use settings.gradle.kts, gradle.properties, or a new file (name to be determined) that can be used to define plugins required for the build. this file is the equivalent to the pre-old 2.1 buildScript block or the post-2.1 plugins block. The build makes sure the file is processed before the build kicks in, hence why settings.gralde.kts may be a good candidate.
