Gradle Error on Refresh task.

When I change the compile dependencies from:

compile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web:1.2.6.RELEASE'

to

compile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-thymeleaf'

I have the next error:

Gradle 'giflib' project refresh failed
Error:Cause: org.gradle.internal.component.external.model.DefaultModuleComponentSelector

this is my build.gradle file:

group 'com.teamtreehouse'
version '1.0-SNAPSHOT'

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:1.4.2.RELEASE")
    }
}

apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'org.springframework.boot'

sourceCompatibility = 1.5

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    compile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-thymeleaf'
}

I can fix it with some help on the Spring Guides.

this is my new build.gradle file:

group 'com.teamtreehouse'
version '1.0-SNAPSHOT'

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:1.4.3.RELEASE")
    }
}

apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'idea'
apply plugin: 'org.springframework.boot'

sourceCompatibility = 1.8
targetCompatibility = 1.8

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-thymeleaf")
    compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-devtools")
    testCompile("junit:junit")
}

and just works!
