Getting weird error when using with gradle

[flozano]

in plain Java-OpenJDK (not android) I'm getting:

12:18:06 Errors occurred while build effective model from /mnt/ebs/jenkins/.gradle/caches/modules-2/files-2.1/org.mariuszgromada.math/MathParser.org-mXparser/5.2.1/4a5ae2e93b23415b779e05547d28f2e066759547/MathParser.org-mXparser-5.2.1.pom:

Unfortunately, with this very short description, I might not be able to help you :-(

it's basically what I get in gradle when I add the dependency to the 5.2.1 version of the artifact. the POM contains an empty tag that causes this error

I get he same error message with org.mariuszgromada.math:MathParser.org-mXparser:5.2.1 and Gradle 8.5

@flozano what is the tag name that is causing this problem?

[flozano]

@mariuszgromada it's in my original description : build.resources.resource.directory

I think it might be the "<directory></directory>" empty tag, I will fix it soon.
