title: My project, which uses a gradle dependency, stopped working when I restarted my computer
body: <p>I am making a program that requires a Gradle dependency, and I am using eclipse. It was working yesterday, and I didn't change anything, but when I restarted my computer it stopped working. This is my first time using Gradle.</p>
  
  <p>I tried refreshing Gradle and restarting eclipse, but it still doesn't see the dependency. I tried changing the distribution url of Gradle in the gradle-wrapper.properties file, and copying everything from one project to another but nothing has worked so far.</p>
  
  <p>this is the content of my build.gradle file</p>
  
  <pre><code>plugins {
      // Apply the java-library plugin to add support for Java Library
      id 'java-library'
      apply plugin: "eclipse"
  }
  
  repositories {
      maven {
          url  "https://dl.bintray.com/emilybjoerk/lisoft" 
      }
  }
  
  dependencies {
      // This dependency is exported to consumers, that is to say found on their compile classpath.
      api 'org.apache.commons:commons-math3:3.6.1'
  
  
      // this is the dependency I am trying to get to work.
      compile 'org.li-soft.gonector:gonector:1.0.0'
  
      // This dependency is used internally, and not exposed to consumers on their own compile classpath.
      implementation 'com.google.guava:guava:27.0.1-jre'
  
      // Use JUnit test framework
      testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is the error message:</p>
