Dependencies node

The dependencies node will divide dependencies into the three categories: compile, provided, runtime. These mimics maven's dependency scopes.

Consider the following build script:

apply plugin: 'java'

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

sourceSets.main {
    // This will be provided by the runtime environment
    compileClasspath += files("lib/serverAPI.jar")
    // This is a directory
    compileClasspath += files("extDir")
    compileClasspath += files("lib/hello.jar")
    
    runtimeClasspath += files("extDir")
    runtimeClasspath += files("lib/hello.jar")
    // Implementation required only in runtime
    runtimeClasspath += files("lib/helloimpl.jar")  
}

// Maven dependencies
dependencies {
    compile 'org.slf4j:slf4j-api:1.7.12'            
    // Implementation required only in runtime  
    runtime 'org.slf4j:slf4j-simple:1.7.12'         
}

Its dependencies node will look like:
