Configuration of maven-publish plugin fails with gradle 5.0 with NoClassDefFoundError : org.gradle.api.internal.ClosureBackedAction

[thisisananth]

Expected Behavior

Plugin should be configured and publishing should work without exception

Current Behavior

Running any task in the build with maven-publish fails with the exception java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org.gradle.api.internal.ClosureBackedAction

Context

Builds are failing because of this. I'm seeing this only after upgrading to gradle 5.0. The build works fine in 4.10.3

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

I have a multiproject build with 3 sub projects. In each subproject, I'm applying the maven-publish plugin. When I just run the build task, it is failing with the following exception

Could you please provide a sample project to reproduce this issue?

[noproxy]

The class ClosureBackedAction is moved from org.gradle.api.internal.ClosureBackedAction to org.gradle.util.ClosureBackedAction since Gradle 5.0.

This is a bug of the third plugin io.spring.dependency-management's 0.6.x versions. This is the code. @marcphilipp

@thisisananth you can upgrade the 'io.spring.dependency-management' plugin to 1.0.x to fix this problem.

[marcphilipp]

@noproxy Thanks!

[thisisananth]

@noproxy Thanks. That fixed the problem!
