Error in building app with Stanford NLP jars?

Question

I get the following error when I build my app:

Execution failed for task ':app:preDexDebug'.
> com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_45\bin\java.exe'' finished with non-zero exit value 1

When I checked the Gradle Console, this is what I found:

Executing tasks: [:app:assembleDebug]

Configuration on demand is an incubating feature.

Total time: 3.96 secs

So I am assuming there is some fault with my stanford-corenlp-3.5.2.jar file.

In that case, here is my file structure: root/app/nlp/stanford-corenlp-3.5.2.jar

and this is my build.gradle file for the app:

    apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 21
    buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "in.aekansh.cortibae"
        minSdkVersion 11
        targetSdkVersion 21
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }

    sourceSets.main {
        jniLibs.srcDir 'libs'
        jni.srcDirs = [] //disable automatic ndk-build call
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.3'
    //new ones to check out!
    compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:21.0.+'
    compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:21.0.+'
    compile files('nlp/stanford-corenlp-3.5.2.jar')
}

Please tell me why I am getting this error. Before adding the stanford-corenlp-3.5.2.jar, the app was successfully built.

Please ask for more details, if necessary.

UPDATE 1
Reference: This question.

I went through this answer, and I did everything Youngjae did. I updated all my SDKs including Google Repository, and the error still persists.

AndroidManifest.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="in.aekansh.cortibae">

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />

    <application
        android:name=".App"
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/c"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/ChatBackground">
        <activity
            android:name=".MainActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
        <activity
            android:name=".chatscreenActivity"
            android:label="@string/title_activity_chatscreen"></activity>
    </application>

</manifest>

As for the second suggestion provided by Youngjae, I did not find any duplicates in my build.gradle. I have already posted it above. Any suggestions?

UPDATE 2

Have a look at this question. None of the solutions seem to help me.

From the following notes in the logcat:

> Note: Some input files use or override a deprecated API.
>     Note: Recompile with -Xlint:deprecation for details.
>     Note: D:\Aekansh\Projects\Cortina\android-chat-starter-master\Cortibae\app\src\main\java\in\aekansh\cortibae\MessageHandler.java
> uses unchecked or unsafe operations.
>     Note: Recompile with -Xlint:unchecked for details.

I figured I was using a few deprecated APIs and I fixed all the unchecked operations and deprecated methods. Now I am left with one error:

    Execution failed for task ':app:preDexDebug'.
> com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_45\bin\java.exe'' finished with non-zero exit value 1

I have no idea what this error is and how I should remove it. I also used --stacktrace to find my error, but it showed nothing but the same error 3 times. Any ideas?

UPDATE 3

According to this answer, the problem was arising because of my manual imports of libraries. So, I switched to the automatic dependency compiler.

My gradle.build file:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 21
    buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "in.aekansh.cortibae"
        minSdkVersion 13
        targetSdkVersion 21
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        multiDexEnabled = true
    }
    lintOptions {
        abortOnError false
        disable 'InvalidPackage'
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }

    sourceSets.main {
        jniLibs.srcDir 'libs'
        jni.srcDirs = [] //disable automatic ndk-build call
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.3'

    //new ones to check out!
    compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:21.0.+'
    compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:21.0.+'

    //automatic download
    compile 'edu.stanford.nlp:stanford-corenlp:3.6.0'
}

This also did not solve the error.

@MounirElfassi Can you please take a look at this question again? — Aekansh Dixit, Jun 16 '16 at 13:41
