Failing the build.gradle for serenity plugin

Question

I am trying to create a serenity project on my machine. For that I have created below build.gradle file in one of the local directory and executed command gradle build.

repositories {
    mavenLocal()
    jcenter()
}

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenLocal()
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath("net.serenity-bdd:serenity-gradle-plugin:1.0.47")     
    }
}

apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'eclipse'
apply plugin: 'idea'
apply plugin: 'net.serenity-bdd.aggregator'                             

dependencies {
    testCompile 'net.serenity-bdd:core:1.0.47'                          
    testCompile 'net.serenity-bdd:serenity-junit:1.0.47'                
    testCompile('junit:junit:4.11')
    testCompile('org.assertj:assertj-core:1.7.0')
    testCompile('org.slf4j:slf4j-simple:1.7.7')
}
gradle.startParameter.continueOnFailure = true 

I am getting below error message on command prompt.

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring root project 'Serenity'.
> Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':classpath'.
   > Could not resolve net.serenity-bdd:serenity-gradle-plugin:1.0.47.
     Required by:

Could you please help me to resolve this issue. Thanks!

In my case, the domain was not available, the error disappear by itself after some time. In this case, you can also change the mirror repository, for example to http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/android/tools/build/gradle here is a docs link: https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/artifact_dependencies_tutorial.html#N10621
