Gradle dependency management

I have recently been working on writing a Gradle plugin for the popular SoapUI functional testing tool. To make things easier I decided to port the maven plugin rather than reinvent the wheel. I've been working predominantly in IntelliJ, and for some reason it didn't flag any dependency failures.

I felt the time had come to add the project to CI and was surprised to see the build failed. I have been employing test driven development so had expected test failures but not dependency failures.

To resolve the issue I first had to establish what was causing the problem; running the 'gradlew dependency' task helped nicely! The output below is quite clear:

Simply changing the dependency to a later version fixed my issue.
