Meanwhile I found a solution to my problem in a (somewhat) similar Question.

Adding the following to the gradle.build file, resolves my problem

  }
}

.
|- org
|  `- example
|     `- plugins
|        `- impl
|           `- ExamplePlugin.class
`- META-INF
   |- MANIFEST.MF
   `- services
      `- org.example.plugins.PluginService
