title: Cannot build project 'Simplify' with gradle
body: <p>I am trying to build the project 'Simplify' from github (<a href="https://github.com/CalebFenton/simplify" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/CalebFenton/simplify</a>). I have downloaded the files and ran the command in command prompt:</p>
  
  <pre><code>gradle build
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But the build fails with the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>FAILURE:Build failed with an exception
  *What went wrong:
  &gt;Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':demoapp:compile'
  Required by org.cf:demoapp:1.0.0
  &gt;Could not resolve org.skf4j:slf4j-nop:1.7.7
  &gt;Could not get resource 'https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/slf4j/slf4j-nop/1.7.7/slf4j-nop-1.7.7.pom'
  &gt;Failure inintializing default system SSL context
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>....etc</p>
  
  <p>What am I doing wrong? 
  I have internet connected during the build. I am using Java SE 8u74 and gradle 2.10.</p>
  
  <p>P.S- When I tried to run the gradle wrapper by the command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>gradlew fatjar
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It gives many errors.</p>
