With Gradle 2.9, modifying the manifest for a task of type OneJar results in StackOverflow error

[boblloyd]

With this code:

task oneJar(type: OneJar){
    manifest { attributes "myKey": "myValue"}
}

Using 1.0.4 version of the onejar plugin.

Running the build with Gradle 2.9 (this worked in Gradle 2.2), the following stacktrace is generated. This happens during project evaluation. As a workaround, I'm able to create the manifest file by hand (per the documentation, including the other properties), and add that to my oneJar task.

* Exception is:
org.gradle.api.GradleScriptException: A problem occurred evaluating project ':myProject'.
