Start by posting the relevant parts of your build.gradle (s) and specific error messages. Your error description is to short to do anything with.  
Generally this should work for a normal java plugin:

```
apply plugin: 'java'
repositories {
  jcenter()
}
dependencies {
  testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
}
```
