ForgeGradle 5 doesn't support plugin DSL syntax

[tyhdefu]

ForgeGradle 5 cannot be applied with the plugin DSL syntax, only the legacy apply plugin + buildscript classpath syntax. I have even specified the forge repository as one of the places to grab plugins for, but it still cannot find the plugin Im using gradle 7.3

Plugin [id: 'net.minecraftforge.gradle', version: '5.1.+'] was not found in any of the following sources:

- Gradle Core Plugins (plugin is not in 'org.gradle' namespace)
- Plugin Repositories (could not resolve plugin artifact 'net.minecraftforge.gradle:net.minecraftforge.gradle.gradle.plugin:5.1.+')
  Searched in the following repositories:
    Gradle Central Plugin Repository

Seems to previously be brought up in #439 for previous gradle versions but no longer seems to be resolved

This has been resolved in Gradle 4.10. Thought it seems like FG currently does not work on 4.10 or higher as of #552. - MinecraftPlaye

ForgeGradle intentionally does not publish plugin markers. This is also not a place to receive support for that kind of thing. Use the Forge discord if you want further help.

After reconsideration, we are now planning to generate and publish plugin marker artifacts for ForgeGradle, through PR #858, which will allow the use of the plugins DSL syntax (provided that the Forge maven is added as a repository in the pluginManagement block of the settings.gradle).

I am reopening this issue so it will be (automatically) closed as completed once the PR is merged.
