bug#70886: Packaging a gradle application

[Julien Lepiller <julien@lepiller.eu>]

After 1.0.0, I'm able to build one more version, but it is not built properly, as it's not able to build ittelf or any other version. There's probably something wrong with one of the dependencies, but it's hard to say what and which one exactly.

One way to test would be to rebuild with the shipped jar dependencies and see if we can get further, then figure out which is responsible for the issue. It's very time consumming though.
