How to use gradle-release and publishing together?

Old Forum

I am trying to use the gradle-release plugin in conjunction with the publishing feature. When I run release, I’d like to have my artifacts published. Initially I tried:

apply from: 'http://tellurianring.com/projects/gradle-plugins/gradle-release/apply.groovy'
createReleaseTag.dependsOn publish
publishing {
    ...
}

But that gave me an error that “Cannot configure the ‘publishing’ extension after it has been accessed.”

Knowing publishing is a delayed block (whatever that means :stuck_out_tongue: ), I then tried:

apply from: 'http://tellurianring.com/projects/gradle-plugins/gradle-release/apply.groovy'
publishing {
    ...
    createReleaseTag.dependsOn publish
}

But same error. Can these 2 work together? And if so, how?
