While running the multiproject-all-conventions. I received this error with Gradle 1.1 on Windows 7

Dynamic properties are deprecated: http://gradle.org/docs/current/dsl/org.gradle.api.plugins.ExtraProp...
Deprecated dynamic property: "type" on "DefaultExternalModuleDependency{group='org.graniteds', name='granite-swc', version='2.2.0.SP1', configuration='default'}", value: "swc".
Deprecated dynamic property "type" created in multiple locations.

   Hi Jim,

   Thanks for reporting this issue. It's caused by the 'type' instead of 'ext' property on the dependencies in the client project (mistake of mine), I'll fix it on the develop branch.

   Hi Jim,

   I just ran into the same issue while creating a new project and the reason I got this error was because I hadn't set up my multi-project correctly: I forgot to create the settings.gradle file in the root project. Which is why the gradlefx plugin didn't get applied to the subproject; hence the type property wasn't recognized. Perhaps that is what's happening to you too.

   @Yennick: can you think of any way we could catch this kind of error and display a proper error message?

   We can add a validator for the type property, but that doesn't catch the missing settings.gradle file. I guess that's something Gradle should catch.

   In Jim's case it was the 'ext' property on the dependency that was named 'type' by accident. He used one of our sample projects, so a missing setttings.gradle file isn' the problem here.
