Gradle can't find classpath for android plugin

i am getting this error saying it cant find the classpath related to a android plugin. using gradle 1.2 .

here is the error:

Could not find method classpath() for arguments [org.gradle.api.plugins:gradle-android-plugin:1.2.1]

here is my build.gradle file

//setup external dependency plugins we will use to build a android application
buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
        maven {
            url "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots"
        }
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath 'org.gradle.api.plugins:gradle-android-plugin:1.2.1'
    }
}

//apply eclipse plugin
apply plugin: 'eclipse'

//apply android plugin
apply plugin: 'android'

apply plugin: 'maven'

task hello << {
    String value = 'wagwan'
    println 'Hello world!' + value.toUpperCase()
}

Thanks

edit: new error i recieve now:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':classpath'.
> Could not resolve group:org.gradle.api.plugins, module:gradle-android-plugin, version:1.2.1.
  Required by:

   > Could not GET 'http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/gradle/api/plugins/gradle-android-plugin/1.2.1/gradle-android-plugin-1.2.1.pom'.
   > Could not GET 'https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/org/gradle/api/plugins/gradle-android-plugin/1.2.1/gradle-android-plugin-1.2.1.pom'.

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

As shown in the guide, the dependencies { classpath ... } block has to go inside buildscript { ... }. Only for the build script, a configuration named classpath is defined.
