What are you running when you get the error? And what is in your BUILD file?

I found the exact same problem and my gradle build was saying this about that dependency:

POM relocation to another version number is not fully supported in Gradle : xml-apis:xml-apis:2.0.2 relocated to xml-apis:xml-apis:1.0.b2. Please update your dependency to directly use the correct version 'xml-apis:xml-apis:1.0.b2'. Resolution will only pick dependencies of the relocated element. Artifacts and other metadata will be ignored.

Just declare the dependency in your WORKSPACE with the "1.0.b2" version instead of the "2.0.2" version and make sure you have this in your maven_install config: maven_install( ... version_conflict_policy = "pinned", )
