Problem with gradle build

Wed, 10 Jul 2013 08:37:12 -0700 

Hi All,

If I run "gradle test" it sometimes (but not always) fails with:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
 Execution failed for task ':base:compileTestJava'.
> java.lang.ClassFormatError: Invalid Constant Pool entry Type 18
The whole exception stacktrace is at the end of the email.
Based on the stacktrace and after some googling I found that this might be caused by old ant version which didn't support invokeDynamic. This is fixed in ant 1.9 but the ant which is built in gradle is older. 

Has anybody else run into this?

I've tried to add
ant.properties["build.compiler"] = "javac1.7"
into build.gradle and this seems to help so far but I am not sure if it doesn't break anything else (or if it helps for real since I didn't find the specific conditions in which the build fails with this error). 

Thanks,
Eva
