scalaConsole fails for Gradle 2.6

Not sure if this question deserved a snarky response , but perhaps this dependency should get added to the samples’ build.gradle file instead of relying on newbies to read your minds when the tool doesn’t work as it should for things as basic as sample programs.

I verified that

dependencies {
compile ‘org.scala-lang:scala-library:2.11.1’
}

added to the samples makes them work and this bug can be closed.
