Is the message I receive, my build.gradle in the root is:

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.3'
}
}

plugins {
id "me.tatarka.retrolambda" version "3.5.0"
}

allprojects {
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
}
}
}

I have only JRE and JDK 8 installed on this machine. What am I missing more?
