Gradle 2.9 regression - Could not find property 'binaries' on project ':base'

[brunobowden]

This works fine with Gradle 2.8 but fails with with 2.9-rc-1. It appears to be an intentional breakage that you'll have to deal with:

The binaries container is no longer bridged into the regular plugin space, and is now only visible to rules via model. The binaries project extension has been removed.

@brunobowden we're now at the point of no return i think.
we have to finish that discussion we put off last Oct/Nov about fully migrating to the "3.0" way of doing things, using Models and Rules for all of the plugin. That is a substantial rewrite that I don't believe either of us have time to do right now

[brunobowden]

@advayDev1 - yeah, this is unfortunate. I would like to get some others involved to help out on something like this. It'll be a while before 2.9 is common place, so we'll defer the discussion for now.

Here's the updated link for the 2.9 release notes: https://docs.gradle.org/2.9/release-notes#the-binaries-container-is-no-longer-accessible-as-a-project-extension

any updates on supporting gradle 2.9+?
