Gradle can only deal with file collections as arguments for a configuration.
dependencies {
runtime files(fileTree(...))
}
The logic behind that behavior is that a file tree preserves the hierarchy
whereas a file collection is a flat list of file. The files method flattens
a file tree. But this is such a common scenario, that we should accept file
trees as well and automatically turn them into a file collection.
