You can try reusing your local Maven repository for Gradle:

• Download ojdbc7.jar from Oracle site

• Install the jar into your local Maven repository:

  mvn install:install-file -Dfile=ojdbc7.jar -DgroupId=com.oracle -DartifactId=ojdbc7 -Dversion=12.1.0.1 -Dpackaging=jar
  

• Check that you have the jar installed into your ~/.m2/ local Maven repository

• Enable your local Maven repository in your build.gradle file:

  repositories {  
      mavenCentral()  
      mavenLocal()  
  }  
  
  dependencies {  
      compile ("com.oracle:ojdbc7:12.1.0.1")  
  }  
  

• Now you should have the jar enabled for compilation in your project
