[GROOVY-7296] "InvalidPackage: Package not included in Android" lint error when running "gradle build" on Android project with Groovy

• Type: Bug
• Status: Open

• Resolution: Unresolved
• Affects Version/s: 2.4.0, 2.4.1, 2.5.0-beta-1
• Component/s: Android
• Labels: exception
• Environment: Android, Groovy 2.4, Gradle. Mac OS X 10.10.2 and Debian 7 64-bit machines.

Description

This error can be reproduced by:

1) Create a new project using Android Studio
2) Add Groovy support as explained in http://docs.groovy-lang.org/docs/next/html/documentation/tools-groovyc.html#section-android
3) In the project's root directory, run "./gradlew build"

It eventually fails with a lint error/exception "InvalidPackage: Package not included in Android" (see full error attached). It seems to be related to calls/references the grooid jars are marking to Java APIs which are not included in the Android library.
