[未解決] GradleのJavaプラグインタスクをbuild.gradle内でexecuteできない

解決してないので、どなたか原因や解決策を知っていたら教えてください。

とあるJavaプロジェクトで、defaultTasksを定義しているんだけど、Eclipseからだとタスク実行の方がやりやすいと。
で、タスクを作ってその中からタスクを呼ぼうとしているんだけど、タイトル通りJavaプラグイン関連のタスクが呼べない。

例えば、

% gradle init --type java-library

で作ったプロジェクトのbuild.gradleを最低限の記述にして、タスクを追加してみる。

apply plugin: 'java'

repositories {
    jcenter()
}

dependencies {
    compile 'org.slf4j:slf4j-api:1.7.12'
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
}

task('noJava') << {
  println "no java task run"
}

task('run') << {
  project.tasks.getByName('noJava').execute()
}

task('runJava') << {
  project.tasks.getByName('build').execute()
}

この時、runタスクでnoJavaタスクは呼べるんだけど、runJavaタスクでbuildは呼べない。
--debugしてみると、buildタスクにはActionがないみたいなログが出ている。

なんか、Gradleの初歩的なことを見落としているような気がしているんだけど、割りと簡単なことができなくて困ってる…。
