Answer 1

You can replace your groovyldap dependency declaration with the following (as already mentioned by @paul-king in the comments):

    compile(group: 'org.apache.directory', name: 'groovyldap', version: '0.1-SNAPSHOT') {
        exclude group: 'groovy', module: 'groovy'
    }

This will at least help you get rid of the dependency resolution error.

I don't know if your groovyldap dependency will still work with Groovy 2.5.4 but it's definitely worth a try.
