[#GRADLE-2938] Dependency management element fails to provide dependency element version if type attribute is not defined for one of them

Reported on the Gradle forum.

The declared dependency org.jasig.cas:cas-server-core:3.5.2 cannot resolve all transitive dependencies. There following error message can be observed:

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating script.
> Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':[parent of our module]:[our module name]:runtime'.
   > Could not find org.hibernate:hibernate-core:working@[my hostname].local.
     Required by:
         [our group]:[our module name]:2.0.0-SNAPSHOT > org.jasig.cas:cas-server-core:3.5.2
   > Could not find commons-jexl:commons-jexl:working@[my hostname].local.
     Required by:
         [our group]:[our module name]:2.0.0-SNAPSHOT > org.jasig.cas:cas-server-core:3.5.2

This sample build script reproduces the issue:

apply plugin: 'java'

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    compile('org.jasig.cas:cas-server-core:3.5.2') {
        exclude module: 'xmldsig'
    }
}

task copyLibs(type: Copy) {
    from configurations.compile
    into "$buildDir/libs"
}

This issue is happening if either the dependency management element defines a type but the dependency element doesn't or vice versa.

Example:

Parent POM:

<dependencyManagement>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
        <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
        <version>4.1.0.Final</version>
        <type>jar</type>
    </dependency>
</dependencyManagement>

Child POM:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
    <scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
