title: Grails 3 - Gradle dependecies Mysql Connector
body: <p>I have set up a grails app using grails 3.0.9</p>
  
  <p>Now I want to add the mysql connector to bring up an connection to a mysql database.</p>
  
  <p>Therefore I have added an entry to my build.gradle, but the connector is not fetched by gradle.</p>
