Unable to lint dependencies from play software model

[linjer]

Play framework is a java web framework which Gradle began supporting around version 3.1. It uses Gradle's new software model. See: https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/play_plugin.html

The gradle-lint-plugin doesn't seem to correctly lint the play configuration. I've made an example project which has an unused dependency in the play configuration here: https://github.com/linjer/play-java-gradle-example/tree/gradle-lint-example

I've added an unused dependency which doesn't get detected.
