Error if otelExtension is not set in dependencies

[jamesbassett]

I've recently tried upgrading our custom otel distribution from 0.5.2. to 0.7.0 and encountered the following error:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Could not determine the dependencies of task ':opentelemetry-java-agent:extendedAgent'.
> Expected configuration ':opentelemetry-java-agent:otelExtension' to contain exactly one file, however, it contains no files.

The stacktrace:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Expected configuration ':opentelemetry-java-agent:otelExtension' to contain exactly one file, however, it contains no files.

We don't use otelExtension in our dependencies but it seems like it is now required after this change

If I add it in (based on the example in that PR) it works again.

dependencies {
    otel(projectLibs.opentelemetry.javaagent)
    // TODO it seems like otelExtension is now mandatory? i.e.
    // otelExtension("io.opentelemetry.contrib:opentelemetry-samplers:1.12.0-alpha")
    otelInstrumentation(project(":otel-extensions", "shadow"))
}

Hi just wondering if you've had time to look at this yet?

Nope!
