I'm trying to get Arquillian to work in my current project. We use Gradle as the build tool.

When adding the embedded weld container as a dependency:

testCompile "org.jboss.arquillian.container:arquillian-weld-ee-embedded-1.1:1.0.0.CR7"

I get the following error in my gradle build

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

• What went wrong:
  Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':guiTests:testCompile'.
  > Could not resolve org.jboss.arquillian.container:arquillian-weld-ee-embedded-1.1:1.0.0.CR7.
  Required by:
  de.volkswagen.mbx:guiTests:0.1
  > Could not parse POM http://<ourPrivateMavenMirror>/org/jboss/arquillian/container/arquillian-weld-ee-
  embedded-1.1/1.0.0.CR7/arquillian-weld-ee-embedded-1.1-1.0.0.CR7.pom
  > Unable to resolve version for dependency 'org.jboss.weld:weld-core:jar'

• Try:
  Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

BUILD FAILED

I did some searching and came to the conclussion that it is due to unresolved properties in the pom, e.g.
<version>${weld-core-1_1.version}</version>

This seems to be discouraged even by Maven and doesn't work in Gradle
