Plugin with id 'osgi' not found

Question

I am trying to build a project(https://github.com/fge/btf) locally using gradle. There is a plugin "osgi" being used but whenever I build it, I get the error plugin not found. I have tried giving different flavors of OSGi, added the repositories and dependency. Still getting the same error. Please help. Thanks in advance.

Gradle has discontinued their built-in osgi plugin. Please see the Bnd Gradle plugins.
