Problems with strict dep to okhttp3 (strictly)

[jschneider]

Updating to org.jetbrains.intellij:1.6.0 fails for me with this error message:

We run into a similar issue with the refreshVersions plugin:

Splitties/refreshVersions#485

The main issue: If a gradle plugin decalres a dependency as "strictly", we will run in all sorts of issues with other plugins that have the same dependency.

I think you should either:

• remove "strictly"
• repackage the dependencies
• something else...

Thanks, Johannes, for reporting that. Usage of strict versions helps us avoid some conflicts caused by the dependencies we use.
I'll try to solve it another way using your project as a reference.
