I just updated Android Studio (Mac) from version 2.0 to 2.1.1 and the latest build tools (23.0.3) and Gradle (2.10). Now when I try building my project, it fails with this error in the Gradle console:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'.
> java.io.FileNotFoundException: /Users/arlo/projects/myproject/android/MyApp/app/libs/com.radaee.pdfex_view.jar (No such file or directory)

I purchased a source code license for RadaeePDF, so I have the source Java files for pdfex and the rest in my project, but I never had a Radaee jar file in my project. This always worked fine until something changed in Android Studio or Gradle. Do I need to add these jar files, and if so, where can I get them? Or do I need to change something in my project settings to make it work like it did before?

I removed that line and now my app builds again. Something must have changed that makes those dependencies required now. Is there a benefit to adding this jar file to my project versus continuing to work without it as I have been doing?
