Plugin does not work with gradle 6.3

[christoph-schnier]

Hi,
I'm using the plugin and as long as I'm using gradle < version 6 the plugin works fine.
Switching the gradle wrapper to version 6.3 causes the following error:

could not resolve all files for configuration ':xxx:minicondaInstaller'.
could not find niniconda:Miniconda3:4.5.12.
Required by:
project: :xxx

the configuration in build.gradle looks like this:

plugins {
id 'com.palantir.python.miniconda' version '0.8.0'
id "net.foragerr.jmeter" version "1.1.0-4.0"
}

apply plugin: 'base'

miniconda {
minicondaVersion = '4.5.12'
pythonVersion = 3
packages = ['pandas', 'matplotlib']
}

It looks like Gradle 6 has a behavior change where it won't look for the artifact if the metadata file is missing. You can work around this by adding this to your build.gradle:

repositories {
  ivy {
    url "https://repo.continuum.io"
    patternLayout {
      artifact "[organisation]/[module]-[revision]-[classifier].[ext]"
    }
    metadataSources {
      artifact()
    }
  }
}

...but, you still fall afoul of this other change: The bridge method org.gradle.api.tasks.TaskInputs.property(String name, @Nullable Object value) returning TaskInputs has been removed.
