Gradle dependency management plugin: IllegalAccessError: tried to access method kotlin.collections.ArraysKt___ArraysJvmKt.copyOfRange

I figured it out. It was the dependency management plugin:

    dependencyManagement {
    imports {
        mavenBom("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-dependencies:$springBootVersion")
    }
    dependencies {
        ... blah blah ...
    }

In this POM, there is a kotlin.version property that needs to be overridden like this:

ext['kotlin.version'] = kotlinVersion

Where kotlinVersion is defined in my buildscript block at the top of the file.
