Hi,  
i need to made some custom changes on **repository-s3** plugin. In Intellij I started elasticsearch in debug mode with gradle command

```auto
./gradlew run --debug-jvm

```

after elasticsearch is runnig there no plugins are loaded in this instance, in the log are printed message

```auto
[2021-08-05T11:35:23,053][INFO][o.e.p.PluginsService] [runTask-0] no plugins loaded

```

It is there a way to run the plugin **repository-s3** also in this instance ?

I tried to start the repository plugin with command

```auto
./gradlew :plugins:repository-s3:run

```

but the plugin are not loaded in my running instance.  
Do you have any idea about how can I make this running ?

Thank you in advance.
