title: addional gradle tasks not appearing
body: <p>Please excuse me if this question has been asked before.</p>
  
  <p>I am installing Gradle on my Windows laptop. I placed my installation in Program Files and chagned the <code>PATH</code> envionment variable as required. When I type <code>gradle</code> in the command prompt everything is OK. Now I am starting to create the build.gradle file and the first thing I have placed in there is <code>apply plugin:'java'</code> which is supposed to bring up additional tasks when I type the <code>gradle tasks</code> command but no additional tasks are appearing. I am concerned that I am not placing the file in the right place so I have tried placing it in the bin directory and the top level Gradle directory.</p>
  
  <p>If it helps this is what I see when I type <code>gradle tasks</code>:</p>

  <p>I tried adding the <code>--all</code> option but this did not yield any further tasks.</p>
