Converted Maven pom to Gradle script but dependencies are not shown

Help/Discuss

I have a maven project that I converted to a gradle script using gradle init on the parent directory. The build.gradle looks correct.

allprojects  {
  apply plugin: 'maven'

  group = 'com.data.jabba'
  version = '20151215171929-SNAPSHOT'
}

subprojects {
  apply plugin: 'java'
  sourceCompatibility = 1.7
  targetCompatibility = 1.7

  task packageSources(type: Jar) {
  classifier = 'sources'
  from sourceSets.main.allSource
}

artifacts.archives packageSources
  repositories {
    mavenLocal()
    maven { url "http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2" }
  }
  
  dependencies {
    compile group: 'com.google.inject', name: 'guice', version:'4.0'
    compile group: 'com.google.inject.extensions', name: 'guice-multibindings', version:'4.0'
    compile group: 'ch.qos.logback', name: 'logback-classic', version:'1.1.3'
    testCompile group: 'junit', name: 'junit', version:'4.12'
    testCompile group: 'org.hamcrest', name: 'hamcrest-core', version:'1.3'
    testCompile group: 'org.hamcrest', name: 'hamcrest-library', version:'1.3'
    testCompile group: 'org.mockito', name: 'mockito-core', version:'1.10.19'
    testCompile group: 'org.powermock', name: 'powermock-core', version:'1.6.4'
    testCompile(group: 'org.powermock', name: 'powermock-api-mockito', version:'1.6.4') {
      exclude(module: 'mockito-all')
    }
    testCompile(group: 'org.powermock', name: 'powermock-module-junit4', version:'1.6.4') {
      exclude(module: 'junit')
    }
    testCompile group: 'org.easymock', name: 'easymock', version:'3.4'
    testCompile group: 'org.powermock', name: 'powermock-api-easymock', version:'1.6.4'
    testCompile group: 'org.assertj', name: 'assertj-core', version:'2.3.0'
    testCompile group: 'cglib', name: 'cglib', version:'3.2.0'
}
  
}

However, when I run gradle dependencies task it shows the following

Starting a new Gradle Daemon for this build (subsequent builds will be faster).
Parallel execution is an incubating feature.

You are calling the dependencies task on the root project. The root project has no dependencies in your case. Try calling gradle subProjectName:dependencies to get the dependencies of that sub project.
