`./gradlew -version`

```auto
------------------------------------------------------------
Gradle 5.5
------------------------------------------------------------

Build time: 2019-06-28 17:36:05 UTC
Revision: 83820928f3ada1a3a1dbd9a6c0d47eb3f199378f

Kotlin: 1.3.31
Groovy: 2.5.4
Ant: Apache Ant(TM) version 1.9.14 compiled on March 12 2019
JVM: 12.0.2 (Private Build 12.0.2+9-Ubuntu-118.04)
OS: Linux 4.15.0-58-generic amd64

```

So, I'm unable to run Elasticsearch gradle tasks anymore due to the above mentioned error. For Example:  
`./gradlew -p docs check --stacktrace`

Returns:

```auto

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring project ':client:client-benchmark-noop-api-plugin'.
> Could not find method nebula() for arguments [interface org.gradle.api.publish.maven.MavenPublication] on Publication container of type org.gradle.api.publish.internal.DefaultPublicationContainer.

* Try:
Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.

* Exception is:

```

Similar with `./gradlew idea`:

```auto
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring project ':client:client-benchmark-noop-api-plugin'.
> Could not find method nebula() for arguments [interface org.gradle.api.publish.maven.MavenPublication] on Publication container of type org.gradle.api.publish.internal.DefaultPublicationContainer.

* Try:
