Error:Unable to load class 'org.gradle.api.internal.component.Usage'._unable to load class 'org.gradle.api.tasks.testing

今天在Gitbub上下载了一个热门开源项目运行时报的错：

Error:Unable to load class 'org.gradle.api.internal.component.Usage'.
Possible causes for this unexpected error include:<ul><li>Gradle's dependency cache may be corrupt (this sometimes occurs after a network connection timeout.)
<a href="syncProject">Re-download dependencies and sync project (requires network)</a></li><li>The state of a Gradle build process (daemon) may be corrupt. Stopping all Gradle daemons may solve this problem.
<a href="stopGradleDaemons">Stop Gradle build processes (requires restart)</a></li><li>Your project may be using a third-party plugin which is not compatible with the other plugins in the project or the version of Gradle requested by the project.</li></ul>In the case of corrupt Gradle processes, you can also try closing the IDE and then killing all Java processes.

后来google搜索了一下，发现原来是我所使用的gradle的版本（2.3.3）不兼容’com.novoda:bintray-release:0.4.0’的gradle的版本，于是将其改为：

'com.novoda:bintray-release:0.5.0'

然后，报的错消失了。特此记录下，下次遇到此类问题就不要再去搜索了。
