How to apply a Gradle plugin from another plugin?

Question

I\'m trying to encapsulate android plugin in my own plugin, but when I\'m trying to apply my plugin build fails with an exception:

A problem occurred evaluating

Use the project's PluginManager. For example, the war plugin pulls in the java plugin like this:

public class WarPlugin implements Plugin {
    // ...
    public void apply(final Project project) {
        project.getPluginManager().apply(org.gradle.api.plugins.JavaPlugin.class);
        // ...
    }
    // ...
}
