Have a problem with plugin installation 8.14.3. Gradle Build tools used for compiling the java plugin project. Expected the output while installing the plugin:

The project was built successfully and .zip archive contains the plugin-descriptor file.  
Gradle build:

```auto
import java.nio.file.Files
import org.apache.tools.ant.filters.ReplaceTokens

buildscript {
  repositories {
    mavenLocal()
    mavenCentral()
  }

  dependencies {
    classpath "org.elasticsearch.gradle:build-tools:8.14.3"
  }
}

repositories {
  mavenCentral()
}

group = 'org.elasticsearch.plugin.ingest'
version = '0.0.1'

apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'idea'
apply plugin: 'elasticsearch.esplugin'

esplugin {
  name = 'ingest-bkrtbhread'
  description = 'The Redis check for RTBH hosts'
  classname = 'org.elasticsearch.plugin.ingest.baltneta.redisrtbhcheck.RTBHCheckPlugin'
  licenseFile = rootProject.file('LICENSE.txt')
  noticeFile = rootProject.file('NOTICE.txt')
}

dependencies {
  compileOnly 'redis.clients:jedis:5.2.0'

Can you please show the output from `unzip -l` on your plugin file?
