I am have trouble to find anything about "ES Gradle plugin". I am finding in different posts recommendation to use this plugin for integration tests that I need (when I want to start my ES node and run different tests on it, for example create indices) .  
Anyone can give me more info about this? Any examples how to add dependencies, and how to use it to stand up a real ES cluster for my tests.  
Thank you.

I shared some ideas about integration testing in this thread: [In memory testing with RestHighLevelClient](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/in-memory-testing-with-resthighlevelclient/106196/6)

Also this sample project shows how to use Elasticsearch Test Classes:

Thank you, exactly what I am looking for.  
I have to use transport client to interact with test ES cluster. Do you think using ESIntegTestCase will work with that?
