Documentation for Gradle dependency is not correct

[galimru]

Describe the bug

The way of adding Gradle dependency in the documentation is not correct.
This is because it loads only the pom file itself but not all transient jars.

I had to add transitive property to make it work.

    api ('org.tribuo:tribuo-all:4.0.0@pom') {
        transitive = true
    }

System information:

• OS: macOS 10.15.6
• Java Version: 1.8.0_231
• JDK Vendor: Oracle

api is only available in java-library, so implementation or compile are the options which work across both the java and java-library plugins. I hadn't realised gradle treated pom dependencies differently (previously our distribution target made a with dependencies jar itself, but that wasn't compatible with maven central) and we must have missed the check when we converted it from a jar to a pom dependency before release. I can update it to implementation with the transitive flag.

Do you know if the syntax is the same across Groovy & Kotlin gradle files?

[galimru]

Just checked with Kotlin and it uses a bit different property isTransitive :

    implementation ("org.tribuo:tribuo-all:4.0.0@pom") {
        isTransitive = true
    }

Ok, I'll make it clear that it's specific to Groovy in the docs. I don't really want to add a fourth tab to the homepage for the two different ways of saying it in Gradle.

I've fixed this in the website repo. The gradle dependency now sets transitive appropriately and shows the variation for Kotlin. Tested in new gradle-groovy and gradle-kotlin projects.
