Answer 1

I think you're getting stung by the Google collections rename to guava and you probably have both on your classpath.
See Using module replacement rules
Eg:
dependencies {
modules {
module("com.google.collections:google-collections") {
replacedBy("com.google.guava:guava", "google-collections is now part of Guava")
}
}
}
Or another problem could be this
fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
The jars in this libs folder can't participate in dependency resolution because there's no meta-data (eg group/artifact/version) so it's possible that there are duplicates here too
See here to store local jars in a maven directory layout instead
