Description

@NorthPoleLars commented on [Mon Dec 24 2018](https://github.com/gradle-guides/creating-new-gradle-builds/issues/29)

Just installed Gradle 5.0 and following instructions on https://guides.gradle.org/creating-new-gradle-builds/.

It doesn't work as expected:

mbp-09:gradle-demo {{username}}$ ./gradlew copy
Downloading https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.0-bin.zip <-- what caused this?
[version.txt](https://github.com/gradle-guides/creating-new-gradle-builds/files/2707643/version.txt)

............................................^Cmbp-09:gradle-demo larry.wilson$ ls
build.gradle.kts gradlew settings.gradle.kts
gradle gradlew.bat src
mbp-09:gradle-demo {{username}}$ nano build.gradle.kts
mbp-09:gradle-demo {{username}}$ ./gradlew copy
Downloading https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.0-bin.zip

Research direction

Start with the example's build.gradle.kts and run ./gradlew copy using the attached gradle-demo.zip. Compare the script with the creating-new-gradle-builds guide and investigate the reported duplicate plugins block and Gradle 5.0 download behavior. Done means the documented example builds and the copy task completes without the reported configuration failure.
