Bug#707764: gradle doesn't work without libjetty-extra-java installed

[Gonzalo Bermúdez]

Package: gradle
Version: 1.4-1
Severity: important

gradle depends on libgradle-plugins-java, which in turn recommends libjetty-
extra-java.
This 'recommends' was working for version 1.1, but doesn't hold for 1.4. If not
installed, Gradle now fails always with:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot find JAR 'jetty-plus.jar'
required by module 'gradle-jetty' using classpath or distribution directory
'/usr/share/gradle'

Defining libjetty-extra-java as a dependency instead of a recommendation for
libgradle-plugins-java will make the package conflict with other very popular
java tools as eclipse, but there's already another bug filed against jetty to
fix this: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=686876
