Bug#810817: gradle fails to install, because of circular dependency between maven core plugins

[Cyrille Chépélov]

Package: gradle
Version: 2.9-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

While building Cascading (https://github.com/cwensel/cascading), gradle
fails to run the following task

   LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 gradle clean install -x test -x platformTest --stacktrace

(which works fine on Cascading's upstream CI suite), with the following
error message (abridged):

---------------------
:cascading-core:install FAILED

BUILD FAILED

----------------------

gradle 2.9-1 from Debian pulls in maven 3.3.9

When downloading gradle 2.10 binaries from https://www.gradle.com, the build as specified above proceeds fine.
Gradle.com's binaries include maven 3.0.4, whereas the Debian package libgradle-plugins-java requires libmaven3-core-java (>= 3.3.3).

Thanks in advance
