Including Gradle Plugin through composite builds

Including Gradle Plugin through composite builds

Sample Plugin's code is exactly the same in all the three projects. The only difference is how this plugin is included in each consumer build.

1. direct-include - consumer directly includes it by changing its own settings.gradle file
2. parent-composite - tries to include the plugin via a parent composite project (without having to change consumer)
3. sibling-composite - tries to include the plugin via a sibling composite project (without having to change consumer)

To reduce file noise, gradle wrapper is not included. Check system gradle

$ gradle --version
