+1 to correcting our current broken gradle build.

The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our [tools], but in ourselves.

I think the root pain point is that our dependency tree is neither explicit
nor correct in several places.  I have myself had frequent issues
surrounding our Protobuf and OQLLexer classes requiring a command-line
build and re-import.  It's also why, after we bumped gradle versions, we
were prone to errors when building in parallel.

Correctly documenting and making explicit the gradle build dependencies is
something that I am meaning to look into soon, but I am currently looking
into improving our pipelines and metrics scripting.
