grails plugin DSL specify zip file

When using the grails plugin dsl in BuildConfig.groovy, such as 

plugins {
    build "org.grails.plugins:db-util:0.4"
}

Is there a way to specify to use a plugin from a zip file like you can do with grails install-plugin?

Not directly, but of you put the zip file in a directory and name it without the grails- prefix, then declare that directory as a flatDir repository then Grails will be able to resolve the plugin from there.

repositories {
  flatDir name:'localPlugins', dirs:'../local-plugins'
}
// copy plugin zip to ../local-plugins/my-plugin-1.2.zip
plugins {
  compile ':my-plugin:1.2'
}

Or if it's a locally built plugin you could install it into your local maven cache using grails maven-install and just use mavenLocal() instead of the flatDir.
