In this case you depend on the runtime classpath of a source set not on a
source set.
sourceSets.main.runtimeClasspath returns the type FileCollection which
implements the interface Buildable. You can pass any Buildable to a
dependsOn, which is then resolved by the Buildable's getDependencies method.
In the case of the runtimeClasspath FileCollection, getDependencies returns
the tasks necessary to create the runtime classpath (compiling the sources,
building project dependencies, ...).
