fix plugins {} syntax - java plugin ordering

[brunobowden]

The plugins syntax for loading the j2objc plugin prevents you from loading the java plugin beforehand. That means that the j2objc plugin needs to operate assuming that the java plugin is loaded afterwards.

// plugins prevent applying java plugin beforehand
plugins {
  id "com.github.j2objccontrib.j2objcgradle" version "0.2.0-alpha"
}
apply plugin: 'java'

wait, can we do:

plugins {
  id "java"
  id "com.github.j2objccontrib.j2objcgradle" version "0.2.0-alpha"
}

breaking lateDependsOn is a lot to lose...

That doesn't work unfortunately. I've figured out another workaround which is to use the old buildscript syntax which allows you to specify the ordering of the plugin load.

I'll talk with some of the Gradle people over the next day or two to see if there's a way to use it with the plugins {} syntax.

buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven {
            url "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/"
        }
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath "gradle.plugin.com.github.j2objccontrib.j2objcgradle:j2objc-gradle:0.2.0-alpha"
    }
}

apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: "com.github.j2objccontrib.j2objcgradle"

i think we should go with this for now and revert the commenting out of lateDependsOn.

[brunobowden]

Agreed. Working on that now.

#131 is a workaround but not a fix, reopening...
