I’m using s3 backed repositories as a [document](https://docs.gradle.org/2.4/release-notes#support-for-amazon-web-services-s3-backed-repositories).  
After updating oracle jdk to version 8u60, I met a following error below.

```gradle
AWS authentication requires a valid Date or x-amz-date header (Service: Amazon S3; Status Code: 403; Error Code: AccessDenied; Request ID: D5BEFCA132123ECE)

```

As a result of investigating the problem, I guess that this problem is same as an [issue](https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-java/issues/484) and due to version of joda-time.  
The report says we can use joda-time 2.8.1 with jdk 8u60, but I found Gradle uses an old version 2.7 of joda-time as a [source](https://github.com/gradle/gradle/blob/master/gradle/dependencies.gradle#L163), and Gradle doesn’t use a latest vesion of aws-java-sdk which [AWS released](http://aws.amazon.com/releasenotes/8143039639694253).

As workarround, I downgraded jdk I’m using. However, I would like gradle to support latest jdk8.

Finally, I reported successful and failed stacktraces. I have executed them in a docker container, and I have masked private information.

Thanks for the detailed report. I’ve raised GRADLE-3338.
