Research direction

Start at the fileTree dependency pattern in build.gradle around line 51 and compare it with the reported logstash-core-7.11.3.jar filename. Update the pattern so multi-digit version components are included, then verify that the logstash-core classes resolve from the matching JAR.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Hi,

The logstash-core pattern used in build.gradle does not include JARS with more than one digit in the major/minor/patch sections.

https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-filter-java_filter_example/blob/9c53f996c6d018500920a8a2222a088d7a00f563/build.gradle#L51

For example, it does not find logstash-core-7.11.3.jar.

When I modify the pattern a bit I can workaround the issue:

implementation fileTree(dir: LOGSTASH_CORE_PATH, include: "**/logstash-core-?.??.?.jar")
