LinkageError after upgrading dropwizard to 0.8.1

Question

I've upgraded dropwizard from 0.7.1 to 0.8.1 and keep getting this exception:

Error:Groovyc: A groovyc error occurred while trying to load one of the classes in project dependencies, please ensure it's present. See the message and the stack trace below for reference
